Many teachers are looking for ways to integrate sustainability more meaningfully into their courses, not least as it is a requirement that sustainability is integrated and promoted through all higher education in Sweden. But as individual teachers, it can be difficult to know where to start or find inspiration to continue to develop this or even time to discuss with other teachers. Integrating Sustainability Competencies in Curriculum is a one-week pedagogical course at Lund University that offers space and time to explore these questions in a structured and supportive setting.
The course introduces sustainability competencies, like futures thinking and values thinking, as well as transformative pedagogies, with an emphasis on how these approaches can shape intended learning outcomes, teaching activities, and assessment. Through participatory workshops, you can try out methods, discuss challenges with colleagues, and examine how different pedagogical choices influence students’ engagement with sustainability.
A central element of the course is a small individual project connected to your own teaching. This makes it possible to experiment with ideas in a practical way while also being able to discuss and reflect with a community of teachers. So, regardless of whether you are just starting to think about integrating sustainability in your teaching or you are experienced but looking for more inspiration and time to reflect – we welcome you to join the course!
