Sustainability Education Symposium
TU Dublin's Sustainability Education Team are delighted to invite staff to register to attend our first Sustainability Education Symposium which will take place on Wednesday, 12 June, 2024, at the Grangegorman campus.
With an emphasis on how the competences set out in the EU GreenComp framework can be integrated into Teaching-Learning-Assessment (TLA) design, the symposium is an opportunity for educators from across the University to hear from colleagues who will share teaching, learning and assessment practices which support the development of sustainability-focused global citizens.
Programme
11:00 – 12:15pm - ‘Step into the Doughnut’ workshop (optional activity)
This workshop draws on the doughnut economics principles where the participants explore the planetary boundaries and social foundations and plan individual and collective actions. Colleagues can replicate this activity with their students as it is an engaging way of introducing key environmental and social sustainability concepts to others.
