ENGLISH
RECOMMENDED FOR:
All Career-related Programme (CP) and Diploma Programme (DP) coordinators and teachers, particularly from individuals and societies; sciences; and Creativity, activity, service (CAS), interested in developing their understanding of sustainability and approaches such as the circular economy in both disciplinary and interdisciplinary teaching and learning.
Produced in conjunction with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, this workshop takes a broad conceptual look at the issues surrounding sustainability. It encompasses both a disciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to the area from a DP and CP perspective. You will explore a variety of concepts related to sustainability in a number of contexts. Using the lenses of the circular economy, systems thinking and nexus, you will explore sustainability as a starting point for developing an individual-classroom or whole-school approach to the issues raised. You will be introduced to sustainable development goals and the meaning of the circular economy in an IB educational context, and then you will explore how these can be approached both from a disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspective. You will collaborate across disciplinary boundaries in the teaching modules, which also examine the ideals of an IB education.
