IB Webinar for DP (Diploma Programme)
🗓️ May 20, 2026
📍 Virtual Event
In this webinar, participants will understand why, what, and how the Cloud Institute and IB join forces to educate for sustainability (EfS). Exemplars for DP will be shared.
By engaging with the EfS Enduring Understandings, Standards, and Performance Indicators, we will show participants how to authentically and meaningfully align with and integrate EfS into their units during their collaborative planning time.
