Teaching the SDGs: Innovations in teaching about the Sustainable Development Goals
March 7, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
In an ever-changing world with increasingly complex challenges, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) require rethinking norms and imagining innovative solutions. Post-secondary institutions play an important role in building capacity among learners to address this work.
With a desire to create learning experiences that are meaningful, creative and transformative, educators have to reflect on how traditional teaching methods can be improved through innovation in the classroom.
This panel will explore innovation in the context of teaching the SDGs, approaches to teaching using innovative strategies to help improve learning outcomes in universities and colleges across Canada.
