Workshop Description:

In this interactive workshop, participants will delve into the 12 principles of a sustainability mindset and explore how these principles relate to and enhance sustainability in education. Whether you’re new to sustainability education or already experienced in the field, this workshop offers valuable insights, depth, and practical strategies to help you create a more sustainable learning environment.

Through hands-on activities and collaborative discussions, educators will learn to identify and understand each of the 12 principles, which include concepts like ecological worldview, system perspective, emotional and spiritual intelligence, and long-term thinking. These principles form the foundation of a sustainability mindset, which is essential for fostering responsible global citizens and promoting environmental stewardship.

Participants will explore how these principles can be integrated into their teaching and classroom practices, creating a more holistic and interconnected approach to education. By applying these principles, educators can encourage students to think critically about their role in promoting sustainability and to act with a sense of purpose and responsibility.

Additionally, the workshop will provide educators with tools and techniques to evaluate the relationship between a sustainability mindset and sustainability in education. By reflecting on their own beliefs and practices, participants will develop a deeper awareness of their influence on students and the broader community. This self-awareness will empower educators to create a classroom culture that not only teaches sustainability but also lives it.

By the end of the workshop, educators will be equipped with practical strategies to integrate the 12 principles of sustainability mindsets into their daily teaching routines, helping to create a learning environment that inspires students to become responsible, informed, and engaged global citizens.
