Orienting curriculum of Higher Education Studies towards Sustainability
The ACES network (Spanish acronym for Curriculum Greening of Higher Education) is formed by the University of Girona (coordinator) and 5 European and 6 Latin American universities. The main objective of this network is to create a model of curriculum greening of higher education with features that will orient university curriculum towards sustainability. One of the more remarkable results of the work done by all these institutions is the establishment of a framework of characteristics to orient the greening of the curriculum. For the objective of our project we could take into account that the complexity of environmental and sustainability issues requires a multidisciplinary approach among different knowledge areas and professional specialties, that we should adapt the curriculum, the ways of defining the subject, the teaching methodologies, assessment methodologies and criteria… to each institution, that we should try to find a balance between theory and practice, and that we should work with future orientations and perspectives and alternative scenarios (considering the evolution of technology). We could start working with the current curriculum by adding a sustainable component.
