Next week sees EAUC delivering an important milestone in the development of sustainability across all universities in Uzbekistan in a partnership between EAUC, British Council, NUS and University College London. \u00a0Representing EAUC, Professor Steve Martin and Quinn Runkle for NUS, with support from Iain Patton and Jamie Agombar, designed the week-long workshop in Tashkent for Rectors, Deans, Support staff and students from all Uzbek universities. \u00a0The programme aims to draw out from participants what their institutions\u2019 opportunities and challenges are, alongside articulating where they want to go in the future. \u00a0EAUC members are global leaders in sustainability and we recognise the benefits of sharing our collective experience and understanding. \u00a0We hope that our partnership with Uzbek colleagues will grow to give new opportunities and benefit UK and Irish members.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The first day of the workshop will be focused on systems thinking approaches to enhance the group\u2019s understanding of sustainability and ESD. \u00a0The team will use diagram, drawing and mapping techniques to help participants to articulate their own understanding and broaden it to include all components of sustainability. \u00a0The second day will then go on to use case studies to demonstrate good practice, alongside asking participants to share their own institutions\u2019 experiences. \u00a0The final day will use back-casting techniques and existing ESD frameworks to help participants to articulate their own next steps. \u00a0The output on day three will be a fairly detailed action plan which each person can take back to their institution for implementation. \u00a0Other meetings are planned with Government, British Council and Education representatives alongside national media outlets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
As I said: neo-colonial adventurism. \u00a0I thought that the more\u00a0progressive, right-on<\/em> sections of NUS were against this sort of thing. \u00a0Do they know about it, I wonder.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
