Educational sustainability: balancing technology and the human element

We often discuss the importance of teaching sustainability, but what about educational sustainability? What does it mean, and how is it different?

In this episode, we delve into the various aspects of educational sustainability through an inspiring conversation with André Hedlund and Andrea Vinkler. They will help us reflect on how to place the human element at the heart of the classroom while balancing it with the latest technological developments.

This episode covers:

What educational sustainability means. Differences from sustainability in general.
The human element in the face of technology advancements.
The impact of technology on the way students learn.
How to bring educational sustainability into the curriculum and the classroom.
