About this event
World Citizenship capabilities are being increasingly promoted at universities with terms like sustainability, global citizenship, ethics, sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals being highlighted in this space – but what are some of the practical ways that we are educating students (and ourselves) to create better world citizens at the university?
Join us at a unique networking event where you’ll hear from two special guests on some of the powerful ways they have been working to educate in this space (and what they’ve learned along the way), followed by a timed Discussion Hub Circuit hosted by more special guests from a broad range of activities and initiatives educating for progress in world citizenship, sustainability, social justice, ethics and more.
SHORT PRESENTATIONS
Dr Jinki Trevillian - ‘Integrating Sustainability into Business Education’
Discover how a desire to create deeper engagement with Sustainable Development Goals led to a resource to guide curriculum integration at UNSW Business Education.
“Following earlier work on the introduction of the UN SDGs to first year students and identifying the need for a deeper engagement with the SDG goals, I researched best practise with my colleague Lousie Fitzgerald and developed a Sustainability Curriculum framework to guide integration in Business Education.”
Dr Misol Kim
Lunch will be served before the start of the presentation.

“Today the world is interconnected in so many ways and to an extent that we often miss while involved in our own disciplines. If we lose the world citizenship aspect of our professional (and personal) character, our education will be incomplete, and our students will not be fully prepared for work and life”.
