Embedding Sustainability into Graduate Attributes and the Student Experience

A comprehensive one-day event delivered by Jimmy Brannigan, Director of ESD Consulting Ltd. This event is being run in conjunction with our 2011 Scotland Conference.

The graduate attributes and the student experience agenda are important in any institution. As students have greater choice and the costs are higher for study the importance of this agenda will continue to increase.

This workshop will help universities and colleges identify where sustainability fits within the student experience and contribute to the graduate attributes agenda, by exploring the benefits for the student and the institution. The workshop will introduce concepts and ideas to support you. Not only shaping how this can be taken forward but also by communicating the approach internally and externally. We will demonstrate how to be successful on this agenda and how the whole institution needs to be involved. The workshop will allow participants to review current progress in this area and develop a way forward.
