No Comments on Sustainability Education Showcase and Visioning Session

You are invited to join us in celebrating the accomplishments of the Sustainability Education Intensive (SEI) program, as well as to have an open discussion on the program’s future! The session will start with a showcase of projects that have come out of the SEI, following with a visioning session, where we hope you will contribute your thoughts in identifying what worked best about the SEI, approaches that might enhance programming in the future, and on how we can further build capacity for sustainability education at UBC.

No Comments on Example of a Sustainability Education Project (2009)

Each SEI participant designs and implements a Sustainability Education Plan (SEP) specific to their course, program or initiative. If you check this blog under outcomes, you will find a list of the 2009 SEPs. The 2010 ones are still in the works and will be posted in the coming months.

Below, we’ve linked to a paper presented by Annette Berndt at the 2010 Canadian Engineering Education Association, as part of the outcomes of her 2009 SEP. Well done Annette!

No Comments on Sustainability Education Networking Lunch a Success!

Thanks to all the folks who joined in the Sustainability Education Networking Lunch today! Approximately 30 faculty, staff, students and community members (am I forgetting any post-docs?) participated in lively networking and a useful discussion following Jean Marcus’ presentation on the new University Sustainability Initiative. Jean reviewed the progress since the Sustainability Academic Strategy was accepted, and shared the exciting new website that is all things sustainability for UBC-Vancouver.
