While there is some great stuff happening – especially around tangible issues such as waste and recycling – teaching about more ‘abstract-feeling’ aspects like climate change or biodiversity can feel daunting when we don’t feel like we are experts in these fields.  \n\n\n\nIn this TSN\, we want to explore ways you can build confidence to integrate these topics into your teaching – both through gaining knowledge as well as through using teaching methods that allow you to feel comfortable with not knowing everything. We’ll have speakers from university and college contexts talking about their work as well as facilitated discussions with your peers. \n\n\n\nAgenda and speaker announcement coming soon – click here to sign up. \n\n\n\nAs always\, the event is free for EAUC members.

In this Connect session we will have an opportunity to review the policy and give input on what is needed to ensure that Learning for Sustainability is woven across the expectations of teachers entering the profession today. \n\n\n\nWe ask that you take some time\, if possible\, ahead of the session to familiarise yourself with the Memorandum of Understanding. \n\n\n\nClick here to reserve your FREE place.

It helps us to show where we are at\, the impact we’re having\, and find out what and where we need to improve. \n\n\n\nAs part of a QAA funded Collaborative Enhancement project\, the University of St Andrews; in partnership with EAUC Scotland\, LfSS\, sparqs\, SOS UK\, and University of Edinburgh\, have developed a flexible 6-step framework that provides guidance on monitoring and evaluating ESD in higher education – including looking at mapping\, quality\, depth\, and impacts. The outcomes also include a handbook and two workshops run by QAA. The workshops are free for QAA members and non-members to join and are open to all\, with the two workshops having a slightly different target group. \n\n\n\nThis second workshop aims to: \n\n\n\n\nincrease awareness of the framework with those who will be directly coordinating or running the monitoring of sustainability in learning and teaching\, e.g. curriculum leads or programme coordinators\, as well as general sustainability officers/leads with a responsibility or interest in teaching. \n\n\n\nfacilitates the sharing of experiences in enabling ESD and discussion of how the Framework might be adapted at your own institution. \n\n\n\n\nThe event is open to anyone to attend. The project and outcomes are\, however\, currently university-focused and will likely be more relevant to higher education institutions. \n\n\n\nFind out more and book your (free) place here \n\n\n\nYou may also be interested in our additional event for Senior Managers.

We are very pleased to be able to offer it once again and very grateful to be working in partnership with The University of Edinburgh and British Council to bring you this course. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\nThis two-week course offers you an opportunity to examine what COP27 is\, why it’s considered to be important and reflect on how you can add your voice to the call for collective action for a sustainable future. \n\n\n\nThroughout the course\, we will share ‘live’ insights into the issues being discussed at COP27\, as well as responses to the conference themes from children and young people\, community groups and ministerial bodies\, both nationally and internationally. Using these ‘starting points’\, we will invite you to reflect on what you have heard\, watched and read\, and think about what these conversations and issues mean to you.  \n\n\n\nFind out more and sign up here. We look forward to welcoming you!
