Abertay University Event; Curriculum Innovation and sustainability, 30th October 2014

Dear SHED colleagues,

I hope that the attached information on a seminar we are organising here at Abertay on the topic of Education for Sustainability, may be of interest to you or your colleagues.

Abertay University is funding a pedagogically orientated project into the viability and practicality of embedding Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in the curriculum as regards tertiary education here in Tayside. This project has, so far, entailed organising and running a number of seminars and workshop for Abertay staff raising awareness of sustainability as a teaching prerogative and indeed the practicalities of embodying the principles thereof within our teaching practices. Developing that agenda, we are hoping our event will broaden the discussion, encompassing colleagues and students from tertiary education institutions in the Tayside region. To this extent, we are organising a series of talks and workshops on the day, aiming to enable a larger collective discernment on ESD and its applicability in the teaching environment, especially as it relates to Tayside.

We would be grateful if you could publicise the event among your colleagues and students.

If you would like any further information, please do not hesitate to contact either myself or the project lead, Dr Andy Samuel, cc’d into this mail.
