Pre-Registration Required: 20 Participants Maximum
There’s increasing belief that higher education has a responsibility to prepare graduates to live and lead sustainably. This workshop focuses on ways to create change in higher education to align more closely with sustainability goals.
In this workshop, Vivian and Janet will juxtapose two ways of thinking about sustainability to stimulate dialogue and reflection.
Workshop participants will:
- Review visions of sustainability and models of education for sustainable development;
- Explore the ways that these visions and models are reflected in real world initiatives and programs; and
- Apply these ideas to your own institutional contexts and roles.
Participants will come away with a blueprint for embodying sustainability through teaching practice and course design, and for making change at their institution.
