Aims

The University of Manchester has committed to ensuring that Environmental sustainability becomes ‘a key theme within the curriculum, with opportunities to study at all degree levels, in all disciplines and across all aspects of the wider student experience’ (Manchester 2020 Strategic Plan, 2012).

The Environmental Sustainability in the Curriculum Community of Practice ( CoP) aims to inspire UoM staff to critically and creatively engage with ways of integrating sustainability into the curriculum.  In doing so it draws on the thinking, ideas and experiences of UoM staff and individuals and groups beyond the UoM .Through the face-to-face meetings (which run every month during semester time) and this on-line area, it is hoped that the CoP will become a rich hub hub for that critical and creative engagement.

The Online Space

This online space has been set up in order to share information, curriculum ideas, related sustainability events etc.  The site is both for staff  at the University of Manchester and for anyone beyond the University interested in sustainability in the curriculum

You’ll see that there are a number of areas for participation. The ‘Forum’  area is a space to ask questions, make comments and share ideas. You’ll see the prompt ‘add question’ in the forum area. You can use it for that purpose. Equally you can use it  to  share ideas etc.  Don’t be constrained by the ‘ question’  tag!
