HOW?

Lecturers and students collaborate on composing ideas as to how sustainability aspects could be integrated in management-related education.

There are two ways to go about it:

  • Adapt an existing course of your choice
  • Develop a new course of your choice

The competition is based on all courses and course descriptions (actual course descriptions, list of literature, course plan, forms of teaching). When integrating sustainability aspects into a course, focus should be on the 6 principles for Responsible Management Education and the themes of the Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development.

The end product (written and video entries) should be a proposition for updated or new course and curricula, which clearly indicates ways and ideas on integrating aspects of sustainable development.

CRITERIA

MAIN CRITERIA

  1. The entries will first and foremost be assessed by their originality and creativity in order to integrate sustainability approaches, e.g. by interdisciplinary cooperation in courses and curricula at business schools and management-related university faculties.
  2. Ability to present the teams ideas
  3. Relevance to the Rio+20 Conference themes: (a) a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication; and (b) the institutional framework for sustainable development (www.uncsd2012.org)
  4. Relevance to the six PRME principles: Purpose, Values, Method, Research, Partnership, and Dialogue (www.unprme.org)

SECONDARY CRITERIA

  1. Ability to spread the word of the team’s entries and gain support which is measured by the number of Facebook “Likes”
