Navigating the Ecosystem of Support for Teaching Business Sustainability | Virtual
Around the world, business school educators are increasingly aiming to integrate more sustainability content into their teaching practices. This journey isn't always easy -- but many organizations help light the way.
In this session, hosted by the Network for Business Sustainability, leaders from international organizations which support educators in this journey will present the resources and services their organizations offer. Participants will gain a broader sense of the resources available and how to use them.
Following the presentations, participants will rotate through breakout rooms for Q&A sessions with each organization's representative (a “World Café” model). Participants can ask questions about the organizations, and organization leaders can ask for input or feedback on offerings.
Finally, the session will end with a panel where organization leaders take a wider view of the ecosystem, considering questions like: “How do these organizations fit together?” "Might there be collaboration or synergy?" “What can we learn (or have we learned already) from one another?” etc. We hope this panel will be informative for general attendees and spark new thinking or future collaborations among the organizations represented.
