Are you passionate about sustainability?
The University of Edinburgh and Learning for Sustainability Scotland, in partnership with the British Council, have created two free short online courses on Coursera which will give you the chance to join a global professional and personal learning journey towards a sustainable future.
Learning for a Sustainable Future
The course running now is a five-week course with a focus on sustainability education and teaching; supporting those who want to bring some of the activities and issues covered into their own educational practice. Taking a personalised issue-based approach, You’ll learn more about current global issues and consider how we can all respond, personally or collectively. You’ll explore values and work with others to examine the ways in which local action can be taken on global-scale problems. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss and share ideas, perspectives, and teaching and learning approaches as a part of the course community. Working in this way, starting from where you are, within your own context and educational spaces - and sharing this with others throughout the course - helps us to move towards a new and collective way of thinking and acting for sustainable futures.
