Future initiative :

Title of Project: Eco-Campus Development- Curriculum Matters

This research would take on a comparative case study approach, by exploring the extent to which institutions of higher learning (IHLs) focus on eco-curriculum development, in their conceptualization of the ideal eco-campus. Eco-curriculum, in this instance, is in reference to (a) the development of sustainability focused curriculum within academic programmes and (b) eco-sensitive day-to-day teaching and learning practices. Data will be collected via interviews, following which the draft indicators list will be developed and validated via an expert panel workshop. The expected output from the research is a UN SDGs aligned set of eco-curriculum indicators, that can be used by institutions of higher learning wanting to evaluate or integrate eco-curriculum development as a key area within their eco-campus blueprint.
