About this Event
University College London, together with guests from Students Organizing for Sustainability International (SOS) and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), invite students from Kings College London (KCL) and Imperial to discuss how sustainability transitions can be better supported within higher education institutions.
Students and student advocates will share ideas on how this emerging framework can better support existing sustainability work that matters in your universities and local communities. We also want to hear how youth and students can play a stronger role in shaping the transformative change required, and how the framework can be strengthened to be genuinely useful to different stakeholders working with sustainability transitions in both formal and non-formal educational settings.
Students from UCL and other universities are welcome; however, pre-registration is required and you will need your booking confirmation to access the venue.
As part of the consultation, we will also spend time helping to shape the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe’s (UNECE) emerging Whole Institution Approach Framework for Education for Sustainable Development and Transformative Change
This action-oritented research project is moving from Phase 1 to Phase 2. Further information about the current framework and Phase 2 is available in the UNECE Steering Committee document:
We want to hear directly from students about:
- Could Whole Institution Approaches be valuable in your institution or organisation and regional context?
- How could the framework better support meaningful student engagement?
- How can we work together to shape the post-2030 education agenda?
