N-TUTORR Masterclasses: Education for Sustainable Development (September 2023)

As we grapple with pressing global challenges like climate change, social inequality, and economic instability, the role of higher education in shaping sustainable solutions has never been more crucial. Universities are no longer just centres for academic learning; they are incubators for innovation, social justice, and sustainable practices.

How can curricula be redesigned to include sustainability principles?

What are the best practices for engaging students in meaningful sustainability projects?

How can higher education institutions collaborate with communities, governments, and organisations to drive change?
