Coöperatie Leren voor Morgen

What Coöperatie Leren voor Morgen does

Coöperatie Leren voor Morgen is a Dutch non-profit cooperative founded in 2017 and headquartered in Utrecht that operates as a sector-wide coalition for sustainable education in the Netherlands. The organization convenes 200+ member organizations — including 150+ dedicated members — across all layers of the Dutch education system (primary, secondary, vocational, higher, and lifelong learning), and serves as the central coordination point for schools and institutions working to embed sustainability into curricula and operations. Its core product portfolio is built around proprietary frameworks and knowledge platforms: the Whole School Approach (WSA) Toolkit, the Circular Skills program (with construction-sector extensions), the SustainaBul community-of-practice network, the SDG-kompas, the Wikiwijs LvDO knowledge base, and the annual Staat van het Duurzaam Onderwijs sector report. The business model combines membership fees from participating educational institutions with project-based grant funding from Dutch government ministries (notably LVVN and I&W), supplemented by partnership-based program delivery with organizations such as Vereniging GDO, SPARK the Movement, Duurzame PABO, and KennisCentrum Circulaire Bouw. With 23 employees, the cooperative functions as a lean orchestrator that outsources much of its delivery surface to its member network while retaining brand, methodology IP, and government-relations centralization.

Core offering

Coöperatie Leren voor Morgen is a Dutch cooperative network organization that provides sustainable education resources, frameworks, and collaborative networks to educational institutions across all Dutch education layers (primary, secondary, vocational, higher education, and lifelong learning). The cooperative delivers the Whole School Approach (WSA) Toolkit, Circular Skills programs, the SustainaBul school benchmarking network, the Wikiwijs LvDO learning materials platform, and the annual Staat van het Duurzaam Onderwijs report, supported by a network of 150 dedicated organizations and 200+ member organizations.

Product overview

Coöperatie Leren voor Morgen is a cooperative network organization focused on sustainable education in the Netherlands. The organization offers a portfolio of interconnected products and services: the Whole School Approach (WSA) Toolkit serves as the core platform for integrating sustainability across all educational domains, while Circular Skills programs (including Circular Skills in de bouw and Circular Skills in Context) address specific circular economy skills development. Supporting tools include the SDG-kompas, WSA-Wegwijzer Kaartspel, Leervraagkaart, Schoolomgevingskaart, Eco-Scan, Eco-Schools, and various teacher competency tools. The SustainaBul network provides a collaborative ranking system for schools, and Wikiwijs LvDO offers quality-assessed learning materials. De Staat van het Duurzaam Onderwijs provides annual reporting on sustainability in education. The organization functions as a network coordinator rather than a software product company, connecting educational institutions through networks, events, projects, and resources rather than through a unified software platform.

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• NME-Z (Network Natuur- en Milieueducatie): NME-Z is a Dutch regional network of nature and environmental education centers that delivers sustainability education programming to schools. It is comparable to Leren voor Morgen in mission but operates at a regional/grassroots level rather than as a national convening cooperative.

Direct peers

• SPARK the Movement: SPARK the Movement is a Dutch organization that contributed the SPARK Quickscan and SPARK Vision and Mission tools to Leren voor Morgen's WSA Toolkit. It serves the same Dutch educator market with sustainability assessment and vision-development tooling, making it a comparable niche peer.
• SME (Stichting Mijn Energiek): SME is a Dutch foundation that develops sustainability tools for schools and serves as the publisher and facilitator for the WSA Toolkit website alongside Leren voor Morgen. It is comparable as a peer organization serving the same Dutch educator and school-leader audience with sustainability toolkits.
• Vereniging GDO (GDO Association): Vereniging GDO is a Dutch association focused on sustainable development in education and is a core project partner with Leren voor Morgen on the Whole School Approach Toolkit. It is directly comparable as a Dutch sector-specific sustainability education organization operating in the same customer base of educators and school leaders.
• Duurzame PABO: Duurzame PABO is a Dutch network that integrates sustainability into primary teacher training (PABO) institutions and is a partner of Leren voor Morgen on the WSA Toolkit. It addresses the same sustainability-in-education mandate in the Dutch market with a more narrowly defined segment.
• Foundation for Environmental Education (Eco-Schools): Eco-Schools is the global program run by the Foundation for Environmental Education that operates school-based sustainability networks across more than 70 countries. It is the closest international parallel to Leren voor Morgen's SustainaBul and Whole School Approach programs, both in terms of target audience (K-12 schools) and program structure (member networks, self-assessment, action planning). Leren voor Morgen even promotes Eco-Schools tools through its WSA toolkit.

Emerging players

• Het Groene Brein: Het Groene Brein is a Dutch network of sustainability researchers and practitioners that participated in round-table discussions informing Leren voor Morgen's Circular Skills in Context model. It is a comparable Dutch network organization bridging knowledge production and practical sustainability work, with adjacent rather than direct overlap.

Broad incumbents

• AASHE (Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education): AASHE is a North American association that supports sustainability in higher education through frameworks, benchmarking (STARS), and resources. It is comparable to Leren voor Morgen's higher-education (ho) network and SustainaBul work as an institutional sustainability membership organization, though it focuses exclusively on universities.
• UNESCO Associated Schools Network (ASPnet): UNESCO ASPnet is a global network of more than 12,000 educational institutions across 180+ countries focused on quality education and sustainability themes. It is comparable to Leren voor Morgen's Dutch SDG 4 Alliance work as a peer-network model for sustainability-focused schools, but at a vastly larger, international scale.
• EAUC (Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges): EAUC is a UK-based membership organization that champions sustainability in post-secondary education and works with sector partners on policy, tools, and benchmarking. It is structurally analogous to Leren voor Morgen's higher-education sustainability networks and sector convening role, but at a national UK scale.
