Best practices for transdisciplinary and experiential education for sustainability can be directly tied to creating just and equitable change by connecting the greatest challenges on the planet with the plan of action for people, the planet and prosperity. If we truly hope our efforts are intended to leave no one behind, these educational practices need to make their way throughout the curriculum at all institutions. Sustainability across the curriculum programs continue to exhibit high value through the AASHE STARS reporting tool and in their return on investment on campuses and in our systems of higher education

Join three members schools of the AASHE Centers for Sustainability Across the Curriculum network in an experiential virtual workshop where participants will experience hands-on activities and walk away with lesson plans that can be used with diverse groups of students, faculty or staff at their institutions to educate for andabout sustainability. Rooted in best practice, high impact pedagogies, these effective and adaptable activities will provide participants with ways to help their audiences define sustainability, introduce and connect the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals to their work or areas of study and connect to the curriculum in and out of the classroom.

Given the recent switch for many institutions to virtual classes and meetings, we will include details about how these activities can be transitioned to a virtual environment while maintaining the interactive nature of the activities for participants. This will include tips on how to use Zoom and other online platforms to inspire collaboration, contribution and facilitation.

Participants will come away from this workshop with lesson plans and personal experience with each of the activities showcased by the presenters. They will have time during the workshop to discuss with presenters and other participants specific needs for their classes, workshops and institutions to ensure that they leave the workshop with inspired ideas that they will have the skills to apply immediately.
