Calls for expressions of interest: Sustainability and 21st century (NI)

Description

C-SAP funds are available to all staff in universities and colleges in Northern Ireland delivering HE programmes in Sociology, Anthropology and Politics and in cognate interdisciplinary areas. C-SAP project funding is intended to foster a pro-active approach to change in learning and teaching.
Education For Sustainable Development

There is a growing sense of expectation that the higher education sector should respond to the challenges posed by the need to develop sustainable ways of living in the 21st century. The social sciences are vital in understanding the human dimensions of both problems and solutions and we recognise the importance of increasing 'sustainability literacy' among students and the growing demand for sustainability skills among employers.
To that end, C-SAP is seeking to fund a project up to a maximum of £7,000. The successful project will address one of the following themes:
Development of curricula and pedagogy to equip students with the skills and knowledge to live and work in a sustainable way.
Embedding sustainable development goals into learning and teaching and curricula.
Development of ESD principles within and between subject communities’.
Coordination and dissemination of policy, research and practice relating to ESD.
