Sustainability in Teaching – Good Practices from Europe
How can we weave sustainable development into our teaching? Join us for an open lecture with Barbara Ette, Coordinator for Sustainability Education at the University of Konstanz. Konstanz is an EUniWell university and has been recognised for its strong commitment to the UN’s global sustainability goals. Barbara will share experiences, good practices and practical tips to inspire our own work.
Barbara Ette works at the University of Konstanz, developing teaching on sustainable development. In her lecture, she will explain how sustainability is embedded in education at different levels – from strategic work by university leadership to student-led initiatives such as the Green Office.
She will present examples of staff training, interdisciplinary courses and a certificate programme that enables students to tackle complex societal challenges such as climate change and social inequality.
Take this opportunity to gain new perspectives and ideas on how we can make sustainability a natural part of our teaching!
