Sustainability Training for FDMCI Teachers

Get inspiration about Sustainability and learn how to incorporate it in your classroom

Course overview

Within the existing range of courses on the theme of Sustainability, it is sometimes difficult to find something that directly connects to the day-to-day teaching practice of teachers. In addition, organizing and coordinating a shared course that crosses study programs requires a lot of time and effort.

For this reason, Digital Society School and the AUAS Faculty of Digital Media and Creative Industry (FDMCI)’s Sustainability Coordinators created a shared basis at the faculty level to facilitate exchange between different study programmes. We have developed a ready-made inspiration training about Sustainability and how you put this centre stage when creating your education. This short course focuses specifically on the concrete context of teaching about and with Sustainability within FDMCI.

This course of 2 x 2 hours will take place in person at Digital Society School and will be given in Dutch.
