Higher education institutions steadily develop more SDG-oriented educational activities, courses and programs. At the same time higher education is making a major shift in teaching methods and philosophy, from passive to active learning activities, and student-centred education, with a growth in the scholarship of teaching and learning across campuses. How are the two transitions connected and how can the two transitions develop together?
This workshop is organised by the International Association of Universities (IAU) and the Cluster for SDG14 led by the University of Bergen. In collaboration with the bioCEED Centre of Excellence in Higher Education at the University of Bergen, we will discuss how these two transformations of HE are linked and how they will or should develop in the future.
After an input keynote, the speakers will react and address the guiding questions, followed by a moderated discussion. Researchers and Educators, students, sustainability officers and leadership are invited to engage, critically reflect and discuss.
Guiding questions for discussion:
- what changes are yet to be implemented for a truly transformational and interdisciplinary learning outcome?
- which role do teachers, researchers, educational leaders and students have in these transformations?
