Need of the Programme

The need for a Faculty Development Programme on 'Mainstreaming Sustainability in Higher Education is now more than ever. Sammalisto, Sundstrom, and Holm (2015) observes regarding Education on Sustainable Development (ESD):

“Although faculty and staff in universities still perceive sustainability as peripheral to their functions (Wals, 2014) and are in the early stages of the learning process (Mulder et al., 2012), they are the change agents who can and will engage in the ESD (Barth and Rieckmann, 2012). Universities are now progressing from the “bolting-on stage” of SD (Sterling, 2004), starting to face the challenge and building in more systematic changes for SD (Wals, 2014). The next stage requires universities to equip leaders, faculty and staff with a perception of sustainability in the academic context they can apply to their functions at the university. For this change to become a transformation (Sterling, 2004), SD needs to be integrated in all university activities and be transformed into practical actions, which calls for innovative educational cross disciplinary approaches (Warburton, 2003) and a thinking paradigm (McKeown et al., 2002).”
