Welcome to the first workshop of the UNESCO IESALC-University of Helsinki Greening Higher Educations series!
The first workshop aims to bring together teaching personnel, management, and support staff from various higher education institutions in the Global North and Global South. The goal of the workshop is to explore the challenges, existing practices, and opportunities in pedagogical transformation towards sustainability from local to global levels.
Through concrete examples and discussions, the workshop will touch upon relevant drivers, barriers, risks, actors, and stakeholders related to sustainability in pedagogical design in higher education. It will provide a platform for co-creating and evaluating possible tools and solutions to embed sustainability into university teaching and learning.
Taking away from the workshop, not only expertise and actions from various regions in the globe will be presented, but also ways forward will be shared to move into potential next steps for higher education stakeholders to support pedagogical transformation.
Climate Justice Activist, Campaigns Organizer & Demographer Edwin Namakanga (Fridays for Future International, Rise Up Movement, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda) will present examples of local and global climate action.
