Velkommen til utdanningsseminar for Fakultet for naturvitenskap og teknologi for høsten 2022

Welcome to the Educational Seminar for the Faculty of Science and Technology fall 2022

This time we invite scientific and administrative staff involved in teaching at the Faculty of Science and Technology to Integrating Sustainability into the Curriculum Workshop.

The workshop is on initiative by the Department of Geosciences and iEarth Center of Excellence in Education, and professor Anders Schomacker will start by giving a short introduction (appox. 15 min) about iEarth | The Center for Integrated Earth Science Education.

The Integrating Sustainability into the Curriculum Workshop will be led by Dr. Susan Kaspari, a visiting Fulbright Scholar at UiT and NPI.  Susan teaches numerous sustainability related courses, has facilitated other sustainability in the curriculum workshops, and has served as a Provost Fellow for Sustainability at her home institution.

This half day workshop is focused on integrating sustainability in to the curriculum.  We will use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG) as a framework for integrating sustainability in to courses, and explore methods to facilitate students making connections of sustainable themes across disciplines. We will also conduct an asset mapping exercise to identify local organizations working to advance sustainability, which facilitates students linking local efforts to global goals.

UiT’s new strategic plan UiTs strategi 2022–2030 | UiT sustainability is one area our university will take particular responsibility through the knowledge and expertise needed for environmentally, socially and economically sustainable development. This workshop is of interest for anyone who wants to learn more and get inspiration for how to integrate sustainability into courses and studies.
