2021 Next Generation Learning and Skills - Hanken School of Economics - Finland

Open-access Learning Modules for the Sustainable Development Goals (OMG)

In 2018-19, Hanken collaborated with three fellow Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) Champion Schools (Audencia Business School in France, Instituto Superior de Administração e Economia-ISAE/FGV in Brazil, and La Trobe Business School in Australia) for a project, whereby all the schools co-produced open access, creative commons, digital, free educational videos on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The videos are available on YouTube on CR3plus channel and can be used as an open -source teaching material by anyone anywhere in the world. This project also formed as a groundwork for our MOOC that was launched on Future Learn in early 2020 with the title ‘’ Organising for the Sustainable Development Goals’’. Since then the modules and parts of the course have been used by different universities and business schools around the world.

The whole project was carried out collaboratively embodying the SDG 17: Partnerships for the goals with external partners and lot of internal units/departments at Hanken.

2. Everything is possible, where right and passionate people are involved.
3. Innovation in education need not be too glamorous, complicated, and expensive.
