Sustainability in the Curriculum teaching practice forum (16 March)
Sustainability is at the heart of the university strategy. This Teaching Practice Forum, organised by Proctor’s Office and CEED, will explore Education for Sustainable Development, which aims to develop competencies that empower individuals to reflect on their own actions, taking into account their current and future social, cultural, economic and environmental impacts, from a local and a global perspective (UNESCO, 2017).
We will discuss and share good practice about embedding sustainability of all sorts into the curriculum and how each School can support students in developing key competencies for sustainability, such as systems thinking competency, future thinking, critical thinking, strategy and collaboration, integrated problem-solving, self-awareness and normative competency.

There will also be a workshop on Education for Sustainability on 24th March, which will offer an introduction to education for sustainable development, draw on academic literature and Higher Education guidance to understand the scope, framing and activities it can comprise, and highlight institutional and national resources to support your learning in this area.

These two sessions are complementary but they have a different delivery format and focus. You do not need to attend the teaching practice forum to attend the workshop.
