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 presented the resources and services their organizations offer. Participants gained a broader sense of the resources available and how to use them.
Following the presentations, participants rotated through breakout rooms for Q&A sessions with each organization's representative (a “World Café” model). Participants asked questions about the organizations, and organization leaders asked for input or feedback on offerings.
Finally, the session ended 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. This panel was informative for general attendees and sparked new thinking or future collaborations among the organizations represented.
