| Popis | The SustainComp project is based on partnership between four HEIs in the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Norway and Denmark focused on the development of a much needed future-oriented curriculum. The interdisciplinary and cross curricular curriculum addresses environmental, health and climate related problems via innovative, digital and project-oriented and problem-based teaching methods, combined with Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) for students. A full-scale-pilot of the new curriculum and the educational resources was conducted in fall 2023 at UCL in Denmark as a 10 ECTS course involving 35 students. The SustainComp curriculum was integrated in a regular English course and included interdisciplinary co-teaching in the topics of ’Sustainable Diets’, ’Gender and Sustainable Development’, ’Resources, Inequality and Sustainability’, ’Sustainable Consumption of Energy Resources’. Research indicated that students developed sustainable competences in the form of critical and innovative thinking, interpersonal skills, cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioural competences and transversal skills. There were indications of students experiencing challenges with this international curriculum, because of language- and cultural barriers. The application of synchronous and asynchronous online teaching also included digital challenges for both teachers and students. The results will be included in the final version of the SustainComp Curriculum which will be relevant for teacher, nutrition, environmental and nurse education. The curriculum will be available online in English via Open Access in fall 2024 for students and teachers at HEI’s. In a wider perspective, the SustainComp platform provides opportunities for further international collaboration on development of educational resources for teaching ESD and scaffolding of HEI teachers and students in dealing with the associated challenges of climate-change, global warming and environmental emergencies. |
