What MyAV范 does: Sustainable Education

MyAV范 is taking a comprehensive approach to sustainable education including work on the curriculum, campus operations and community engagement.

Approach

Sustainable MyAV范 and the MyAV范 SDG Initiative听team听have created a steering group to define MyAV范's approach to sustainable education. This area of work is also known as 'Education for Sustainable Development' (ESD).

MyAV范's ESD Steering Group set out the following steps as part of MyAV范's approach to sustainable education:

  • Clarify our commitment in the MyAV范 Sustainability Strategy that 鈥榚very student will have the opportunity to study and be involved in sustainability;
  • Establish a baseline and monitoring protocol to measure progress against the commitment and identify gaps in the curriculum;
  • Plug gaps in sustainable education provisions through working with faculties and departments to create sustainability programmes and/or a sustainability-wide module;
  • Support academics to embed sustainability into the curriculum by creating toolkits, case studies, events, training and conferences;
  • Strengthen the sustainability content of MyAV范鈥檚 co-curricular activities, through sign-posting existing activities better, and developing existing programmes.
