IAU and Students Organising for Sustainability (SOS-UK) were pleased to celebrate the first cohort of international institutions participating in the Responsible Futures Programme during the recent IAU International Conference at Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan (22-24 November 2024).
Sonya Peres, Senior Project Manager - Education at SOS-UK joined Isabel Toman, Programme Officer for HESD at IAU, to present a poster exposition highlighting the partnerships’’ work and to exchange with the delegates during the 3-day conference.
Responsible Futures is a whole-institution approach to embedding holistic sustainability across the formal and informal curriculum in higher education. It is a supported change programme and accreditation mark that works to put sustainability at the heart of student learning. The Responsible Futures framework assists in creating an environment for staff and students to work together, in partnership, to embed sustainability throughout teaching and learning.
Next cohort starting now
In parallel to the pilot completing the audits, the new cohort, including many of the pilot institutions, has continued and started to engage with RF. Congratulations to all RF International participants on their achievements so far and best wishes for the continued ESD Journey!
