I am off to the University of Plymouth today for the Education for Sustainability in Higher Education: Achievements & Prospects conference. If you're not there, the hashtag is #sustedPU .
It's a full day. It begins with a keynote from Jane Davidson (INSPIRE, University of Wales, Trinity St. David): "Life, the Universe and Everything - how should universities educate for a constrained future?" There are 9 paper sessions through the day, a set of Plymouth Plaza roundtables (which I first read as Plymouth Pizza, for some reason), a poster session, a locally-sourced, fairly-traded, shade-grown, equitable lunch, followed by more roundtables this time an 'ESD in practice Plaza' , and a brief 'guest address' from Jamie Agombar on "Students, Skills and Sustainability". It ends with a keynote from Stephen Sterling (UoP): "So far, so good ... and so what? ESD and the next decade". As I'm not at all sure about the "good", I'm looking forward to what he has to say.
