Abstract
The goal of our workshop is to discuss possibilities and challenges in the process of integrating Sustainable Development into curricula in higher education. When looking into the development of study programs, we can identify two different aspects which are relevant for the success of such change processes: (1) The process of curriculum development has to involve faculty and students. (2) Sustainable development needs to be integrated with existing content.
The workshop will start out with a short introduction of our project including our current status (10 minutes). We will focus on the challenges that we encountered up to now with implementing Sustainable Development throughout the Bachelor's programme in Business Administration. Prof. Dr. Katrin Muff, Dean of the Business School Lausanne (BSL), who is an expert for such curriculum development processes, will present how she included Sustainable Development throughout the curriculum at the BSL (20 minutes). Using these inputs, we will ask participants to sketch their own ideas concerning the content and methodology for curricula for sustainable development in their various disciplines (world café). In a final discussion, we will sum up the results and also reflect on the challenges of such curriculum development processes.
