The webinar “Sustainability Education: Global Competencies and Best Practices” is organized by the International Alliance of Societies for a Sustainable Future (SFS) and is aimed at teachers, university administrators, and anyone who wants to advance sustainability in educational practice. The focus is on key sustainability competencies, concrete learning objectives, and didactic best practices from various disciplines.

Dr. Krista Bailey, Director for Campus Sustainability at Penn State University, will provide insights into effective methods for actively engaging students and understanding sustainability not only as a subject matter but as an educational principle. The webinar is based in part on the latest report from the SFS working group, “Sustainable Universities: Core Principles and Best Practices,” which brings together examples from the international higher education landscape. It covers approaches to teaching, infrastructure, and mobility that promote sustainability at the structural level.

The webinar takes place on 06 June at 2 P.M (CEST) and offers practical ideas for anyone who wants to strengthen and further develop sustainability at universities. Register here to join the webinar.
