Nurturing Sustainability Changemakers through Transformational Learning & Design Thinking Pedagogies

Earth Institute coffee morning talk by Thomas Macagno (UCD Innovation Academy) Nurturing Sustainability Changemakers through Transformational Learning and Design Thinking Pedagogies on 12 October 2023. Climate change, biodiversity loss, and poverty require creative answers. This requires creating changemakers with the expertise and mindsets to innovate. Discipline-specific sustainability education often focuses on content rather than student agency. A case study is shared of an innovation for sustainability programme which employed transformative learning and design thinking (DT) to train changemakers producing self-reported changes in mindsets and confidence. Lessons from the case may inform the design of other classes and programmes. This coffee morning is part of a miniseries of events on Pedagogy, Sustainability and the Environment organised by Treasa de Loughry (UCD School of English, Drama and Film).
