Learning for a Sustainable Future

Join us from 7 October to 10 November 2024 for a facilitated run of this course where you will have the opportunity to interact with our team from University of Edinburgh and Learning for Sustainability Scotland. Climate change, gender equality, biodiversity collapse, health, social equity, and inclusion are just some of the issues that concern us all, impacting human and planetary well-being and economic stability. How to live a sustainable life affects – and connects – everyone and everything. Over five weeks, you will engage with our team and your fellow course participants to develop an informed response to these major challenges. The course has a focus on education and learning; supporting those who want to bring some of the activities and issues covered into their own educational practice. You’ll learn more about current global issues and consider how we can all respond, personally or collectively. You’ll explore values and work with others to examine the ways in which local action can be taken on global-scale problems. You’ll have the opportunity to discuss and share ideas, perspectives, and teaching and learning approaches. Working in this way, starting from where you are within your own context and educational spaces - and sharing this with others throughout the course - helps us to move towards a new and collective way of thinking and acting for a sustainable future.
