Past events
What can LSE do to further expand education for sustainability?
Wednesday 20 March (5-7pm) PAR.2.03
We aim for staff and students to use this as a platform to discuss together the following questions and then develop some recommendations for LSE:
1) Based on your experience (both students and academic staff), does the Department/Course offer any sustainability-related courses?
2) In your experience (and if any), in what ways do sustainability-focused courses address the topic (e.g. case studies, readings, a certain number of lectures, the whole course is focused on sustainability, certain learning approaches)?
3) How is sustainability framed?
4) What do you think LSE can do better?
This workshop was organised in partnership with the LSE Student Union, LSE Eden Centre and the LSE Sustainability team. Part of LSE Green Week.
