Abstract

The publication of the ESD 2030 in 2020 is an urgent call for change to mitigate the impact of the Covid19 pandemic on the 17 SDGs through education and to accelerate action towards a more sustainable future. The ESD 2030 envisions enacting change in education through increasing awareness of SDGs, localization of the 17 goals, and mobilizing action to achieve the global goals. However, there seems to be a dearth of literature on the implementation of ESD 2030 in higher education. This paper is an attempt to address this gap by describing the course design process to achieve the three goals mentioned above in Purposive Communication at De La Salle University. In addition, this paper also reports the analysis of the localization of e-service learning (E-SL) projects of students during the Covid19 pandemic through the identification of common themes using content analysis of videos and documents from the 97 GEPCOMM classes in the past 4 trimesters. The findings showed that E-SL helped students to increase their awareness, practice localization, and mobilize action toward SDGs in situations where face-to-face classes and service were not possible.
