Innovative Pedagogics for Sustainability Teaching

Join this interactive workshop to explore and share innovative pedagogical approaches to sustainability education!

The session will kick off with BI Professor Caroline D. Ditlev-Simonsen sharing her experiences with teaching sustainability in a business school for many years and her approach to adapting teaching to what her students actually know about sustainablity.

Then BI Lecturer Anna Czerwinska will share lessons learned from evolving BI’s mandatory MSc course on Sustainability, highlighting what works and what does not, including examples on how to get students to talk and reflect about complex issues.

Next, Ann Kristin H. Calisch, BI’s Special Advisor for Strategy and Sustainability, will present UN PRME’s newest pedagogical toolkit, the  Impactful Five (i5): Learning in Leadership Education Framework, with examples from other business schools. The PRME "i5" framework combines cognitive, creative, emotional, social, and physical skill training to develop future-ready leaders. Participants will learn how playful, meaningful, and engaging methods can improve learning outcomes in sustainability education.

The last part will be interactive, where attendees are inivited to share their experiences and discuss successes and challenges in implementing innovative teaching methods. Together, we will uncover practical ways to enhance sustainability education for the leaders of tomorrow.
