Factsheet

Situation

In the academic year 23/24, the working group 'Sustainable Development' at the Department of Health initiated the pilot project '2Slides4Future'. The aim was to incorporate the topic of 'Environment and Health' into lectures without much effort on the part of the lecturers involved. Selected lecturers inserted 2 slides into their teaching units, on which the content taught was linked to the topic of "Planetary Health". The evaluation showed that lecturers and students would like the project to be continued.

Course of action

The present project provides for an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental further development of the pilot project. The subject matter will be expanded to 'sustainable development'. Academic staff and lecturers from BSc, MSc, continuing education and research of the Department of Health Professions, School of Engineering and Computer Science and the Bern Academy of the Arts are involved.

Result

Interdepartmental exchange on "Education for Sustainable Development"; integration and visualization of "Education for Sustainable Development" in the teaching of project participants; introductory lesson for students in training and further education; workshops for teachers for dissemination; project evaluation

Looking ahead

The project has the potential to be extended to all departments of Bern University of Applied Sciences.
