Embedding Sustainability across the Curriculum at the University of Galway: An interdisciplinary approach

About this initiative

This project supports the development of an holistic approach to sustainability and ESD in the institution, working with all schools and colleges, with programme teams, and other staff, exploring how ESD, the SDGs, climate, environmental, and related issues can be embedded within programmes and the broader student learning experience, empowering students to work and lead in the context of a world under pressures from climate change and injustice.

The appointment of two specialist academic staff will also help facilitate connections across teaching, learning, curricular design, research, and community engagement. The project will both promote the use of and collaboratively develop open educational materials, building on existing collaborations and new networks of practice, and promote the use of innovative, engaged, active forms of learning.
