A Global Movement on Sustainable Development Action
Date: 4 December 2020 / Venue: Online
The World Sustainable Development Teach-In Day 2020
(WSD-TID 2020) marks the beginning of a decade-long global movement
that aims to raise and spread awareness of the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), a universal call to action to
end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace
and prosperity by 2030. It is a major online event
that aims to accelerate progress towards achieving the UN SDGs at the
grassroots level by focusing on sustainable education. We seek to infuse sustainability thinking into current education systems and inspire current and future students by reorienting educational practices and also to mobilize and equip teachers with solid, hands-on knowledge about the SDGs so that they can integrate this into their curriculum/teaching.
The event adopts an open access
format, thereby facilitating networking and knowledge transfer within a
truly international, digital learning environment. Academic staff from
universities all over the world are encouraged to partake in this global
sustainability movement by contributing presentation slides designed in
an open educational resources (OER)
style, prepared in English, German, French, Portuguese or Spanish
language and related to any of the four categories listed below. The presentations will then be collated and made accessible in the WSD-TID 2020 website – www.dl4sd.org
