The aim is is to realize and find forms to acknowledge, that future is a creatable category. The effort for sustainable and inclusive processes: Create future in a democratic-solidary communication, – The „constructivist workshop“ (CW) as realized in Germany within a big network is a (Practitioner-)guide for sustainable democratization and an inclusive-participative process-competence for learning settings. The aim is to enable democratization and a solitary creation of the future as a method and as „a lived experience“ today within political education, social movement, participation processes, social work, youth welfare/youth education, school, lifelong learning, team and organizational development. Therefore the constructivist workshop“ includes the experience and the knowledge from science and practice of the last 6 decades generated in the context of the future workshop“ movement (Robert Jungk), the network of „future workshop“ facilitators and the international Robert Jungk Bibliothek für Zukunftsfragen in Salzburg, Austria. Within these fields the CW works with a process model, that orientates at structural transformation, democratic and solidary relationship and multiperspective and diversity in the themes. For the pedagogue and the field, there are defined a process-competence, transformation-competence and a construction-competence within higher education under sustainability, practiced in a wide range within a European network.

The 2021 Toronto Declaration on the Future of Sustainable and Inclusive Internationalization in Higher Education offers both a practical blueprint and strategic vision for how we can, and why we must address the "wicked problems" that are of deep import to us all. Exemplified by Education for All (EFA), Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), we -- as scholars, educators, and leaders in higher education around the world -- have an ineluctable role to play in translating these essential movements and paradigms into empirically supported research, curricula, and interventions that demonstrably benefit the many stakeholders we serve (e.g., students, parents, colleagues, organizations, employers, policymakers, communities, governments, the public at large). On our own, there is very little any one of us can do. But when we come together, with common accord and shared purpose -- as the 2021 Toronto Declaration provides -- there are no limits to what we can accomplish by organizing and directing our vast analytic and applied capacity toward the most pressing issues of our day.

Education for Sustainable Development allows human beings to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values necessary to shape a sustainable future. It requires participatory teaching and learning methods that motivate and empower students to change their behaviour and take action for sustainable development. In order to best prepare our students to continue to live in this changing world, committed teachers are devoted to keeping up with the ever-changing educational innovations. So, I strive to learn the new competencies related to the ESD that can help students be able to live and succeed in the world. I create experiences that connect students beyond the classroom and teach them the skills that are necessary to live in this day and age. These skills include how to apply their knowledge, analyze information, use their higher-order skills to think critically, collaborate and communicate, as well as solve complex problems and make their own decisions. I am committed to making sure our students are learners who have the best competencies.

David Montemurro

Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Canada

I wholeheartedly endorse the statement. The principles and commitments conveyed align with OISE's institutional vision, including statements expressed in our recent Sustainability & Climate Action Plan and the internationalization priorities captured in the OISE Academic Plan. Furthermore, this declaration coheres with the Association of Canadian Deans of Educations Accord on Ethical Internationalization In Education. Collectively, these statements urge critical, collaborative and inclusive scholarly activity that genuinely enlivens commitments to sustainability, reciprocity, racial justice and well-being. They act as aspirational and inspirational signposts to direct the continued development of research and practice in teacher education within our program here in Toronto and expressed in a range of internationalization activities. Active engagement in the Network can leverage and amplify our efforts and impacts, and so I am grateful for York's leadership in this regard.

This statement confirms and enhances approaches and commitments to a more inclusive and responsible internationalization as addressed in the 2015 definition of internationalization: The intentional process of integrating an international, intercultural or global dimension into the purpose, functions and delivery of post-secondary education, in order to enhance the quality of education and research for all students and staff and to make a meaningful contribution to society. (De Wit et al., 2015, p. 29) and the call for Internationalization of Higher Education for Society (Brandenburg et al, 2019).

Joharel Sunico Escobia

Colegio San Agustin-Binan, Philippines

I pledge to support the commendable and noble efforts and goals of York University in pushing for internationalization and global engagements in higher education, especially in the context of the anticipated post-pandemic world. The pandemic has been generally difficult for everybody, but it also opened opportunities for global collaboration and inclusive discussion of various issues that our world is currently facing, made possible through the various online and teleconferencing platforms. The global engagements in higher education should be expanded, even in the post-pandemic world. It is a recognition that even with diversity and plurality, we can work together to solve our common problems, which should not be a concern of one individual, or of one country only, but of the entire human family, across race and culture.

Mr. Himatullah Masoudi

Kardan University, Afghanistan

The webinar and event were very interesting and valuable I learned a lot and expand my network. Professionals, academicians and entrepreneurs came together and shared their ideas. I suggest you prepare an event on SDG and 17 Goals of the UN SDGs.

Thanks to York University, UNESCO and the International Association of Universities for such opportunities they provide.

Abia State University

Uturu, Nigeria

There is every need to support this program to improve on teaching and teachers' activities in the classroom especially in Nigeria/Africa. Again, my country has not learnt their lessons with regard to the Covid-19 pandemic. We are yet to be proactive as regards the education of the young ones during covid-19. So we needed this program most.

Learning is a lifetime business. Education is a necessity and intercultural understanding exposed through internationalization shall enhance the knowledge and experience gain through education. Therefore it is important for educational institutions to continue to provide access and commit to providing international education opportunities to their students and staff.

Dr. Patrick Howard

In Hungary nowadays the teacher education mainly in Biology and Geography has a lot of questions that tried to reveal the best ways to support the interpretation of ESD in the formal and developed (MSc, Ph.D.) education system ( mainly in teacher education and higher education).
The main areas:

• environmental studies (concept of energy awareness),
• nature protection (Biodiversity conservation, Nature 2000),
