HEA STEM: Education for Sustainable Development
- Date: 16 Feb 2012
- Start Time: 10:15 am
- Location/venue: Bath Spa University, Newton Park campus, Newton St Loe, Bath, BA2 9BN
This workshop is aimed at lecturers wishing to introduce or further develop ESD in the curriculum in their home institutions. The event is facilitated by Professor Brian Chalkley and will offer opportunities to meet and network with colleagues working on ESD in other institutions.
It is increasingly expected that all graduates should have a good understanding of the importance of sustainable development and its implications for our lifestyles. This workshop will explore the latest thinking in ESD in relation to appropriate pedagogies and staff and curriculum development issues and will encourage participants to consider the nature of opportunities and obstacles for developing ESD within their own teaching.
