Curriculum Innovation and Sustainability

30th Oct 2014 10:00 – 16:00

Abertay University are funding a pedagogically orientated project into the viability and practicality of embedding ESD in the curriculum as regards tertiary education here in Scotland, but particularly Tayside. This project has, so far, entailed organising and running a number of seminars and workshops for Abertay staff, raising awareness of sustainability as a teaching prerogative and indeed the practicalities of embodying the principles thereof within our teaching practices. Developing that agenda, we are organising this event entitled Curriculum Innovation and Sustainability. We hope it will broaden the discussion, encompassing colleagues and students from tertiary education institutions throughout Scotland and in the Tayside region, perhaps even the UK. To this extent, we are organising a series of talks and workshops on the day, aiming to enable a larger collective discernment on ESD and its applicability in the teaching environment.

Please, feel free to contact me, [email protected], as regards further details; I would be only too happy to talk to you at your convenience (Tel: 01382308716).

Tickets for the day are available at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/curriculum-innovation-and-sustainability-tickets-12793715347. Delegates can chose to attend either the morning session or the afternoon session, although we would encourage attendance for the full day.

The event, including lunch, is free but booking is essential.
