The Good Guide to Creative Practice for Sustainable Futures Toolkit

This SATLE project expands on the development of The Good Guide to Creative Practice for Students (2024), which produced an introductory handbook to provide creative arts/design/media/technology students with basic literacies in three core areas: sustainability, equality diversity inclusion (EDI) and the ethical use/application of technology. In the Good Guide, these are presented as three core pillars People, Planet and Tech for Good. Primary research findings validated that students were concerned about these topics, but felt both powerless, and lacking in knowledge and skills to affect change in their own practice or for their future. This SATLE project focuses on the development of a teaching and learning toolkit – The Good Guide to Sustainable Futures. It will incorporate three main topics: Futures Thinking & Speculative Making Sustainable Materials & Methods Ethical & Sustainable Tech The aim of the toolkit is to provide much needed accessible educational resources for educators and students to introduce sustainability into creative practice, to foster both a mindset shift and practical application.
