WHOLE-INSTITUTION
APPROACH
Many suggestions that come from education for sustainability underline the need for a whole-institution approach (WIA), an integrated means to address all educational processes that influence learning. Aligning and coordinating these processes with each other, it drives and stimulates educators to systematically promote learning and find solutions for the problems we face today.
Moreover, this approach helps organizations incorporate the principles of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) for 2030 in an organic and systemic way, with attention to vision, curriculum, pedagogy and teaching, and management of the organization itself, and research.
TRANSDISCIPLINARY
COLLECTIVE EFFORTS
In this way, education professionals are prompted to reflect on their own learning needs and forge more transdisciplinary collaborations within the university, as well as engage with stakeholders outside their organization.
The aim is to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by creating learning environments that stir critical reflection, welcome dialogue, and put primacy in transdisciplinary collective efforts.
