Åbo Akademi University - Domkyrkotorget Åbo10 Why are we here today? The main focus of this conference is: NOT TO:  review the present ecological-, socio-economical and cultural “un-sustainable development”,  review international, intergovernmental, national or regional declarations and strategies in detail. BUT TO:  evaluate and define the need for change,  review the framework for SD & ESD in Higher Education,  provide tools and motivation for a more holistic view; interconnecting environmental, socio-cultural, ethical and economic perspectives,  discuss & urge for actions to meet the challenges in Higher Education. VIA:  discussing & reviewing general incentives, obstacles and means for implementing ESD in Higher Education,  presenting some cases & good practice from different fields & research based evaluations of learning outcome. IN ORDER TO:  motivate and dedicate us to promote tools and skills for professional and personal actions for SUSTAINABILITY,  “Safeguard & Sustain Higher Education” (!?) Ea Maria Blomqvist, ÅAU Ea Maria Blomqvist, ÅAU

Åbo Akademi University - Domkyrkotorget Åbo11 Ea Maria Blomqvist, ÅAU Ea Maria Blomqvist, ÅAU How do we manage to interconnect the issues around ESD into research and curricula-development: i) since most researchers still lack the courage for and/ or experiences from interdisciplinary projects! ii) since many funding organization still consider these issues as ”risky investment” or as “a task of interest for someone else” iii) since many/ or most evaluators/reviewers still lack the courage or consider these issues as “non-scientific” or “weak”

Åbo Akademi University - Domkyrkotorget Åbo12 Goals… Our goals are comparable to The Portland State University Campus - wide expected learning outcome: ’’  Discliplinar and/or Professional Expertise  Creative and Critical Thinking  Communication skills (social, academic and professional)  Diversity  Ethics and Social Responsibility  Internationalization  Engagement  Sustainability (abilities to identify, act on, evaluate our professional and personal actions; and to interconnect environmental, social and economic perspectives)’’

Åbo Akademi University - Domkyrkotorget Åbo13 Some lessons learned & missions to follow: …will hopefully be evaluated during these two days… The organizers welcome you all to contribute to the discussions and to: Ea Maria Blomqvist, ÅAU Ea Maria Blomqvist, ÅAU
