Are you interested in exploring how to connect your teaching with sustainability and/or climate change? Not sure where to start or how to approach it? Join the Sustainability Hub for a conversation with faculty members from a variety of fields including Sociology, Education, Applied Science, and Forestry, who are on the journey of integrating sustainability and climate education into their teaching. We will discuss why sustainability and climate change education are crucial in higher education and will share our work, how we’ve set goals, made content connections, and how we approached the design of our courses and programs. We will also highlight some key resources and support for this work on campus.
Our projects range from the integration of new modules into an existing course to the design of an entirely new program, and incorporate principles of interdisciplinary, experiential, and applied education. We are excited to learn about what your goals are and hope we can help and inspire you to take your next steps in bringing your perspective on sustainability to your students.
Projects you will be hearing about:
- Sustainability Education at UBC: What can we Learn from Participatory, Urban and Indigenous Planning?
