J锘縪in our launch

This launch invites staff and students who are passionate at providing students with a sustainable education throughout their time at MyAV范, both within the formal curriculum, and extra-curricular activities to join the launch.

Professor Jane Holder (Laws), Chair of the MyAV范 ESD Steering Group, said:

鈥淭hrough the Steering Group we have discovered a vast array of exceptional work already taking place across the institution to embed sustainable development into the curriculum, our induction programmes and the provision of extra-curricular opportunities for our students. We hope the network will provide staff with the opportunity to share their innovative examples of ESD so we can learn from each other.鈥�

Join our launch to:

• Hear from VP Education, Kathleen Armour about MyAV范's strategic ambition, and support for ESD;
• Find out about the work of MyAV范's ESD steering group and working groups and their ESD strategy;
• Network with likeminded staff and students to showcase your ambitions on ESD, and any work you have taken so far to incorporate ESD across MyAV范
• View lightening talks from colleagues and students sharing best practice on ESD
• Discuss in groups聽the evolution of the Network, useful resources and how to further progress ESD work at MyAV范.

The ESD Network launch will be a hybrid event on Thursday 4 May 2023, 2-3pm. The in-person event at IOE, will be followed by refreshments and the opportunity to network informally.
