At the University of Bergen we take learning out of the traditional classroom: onto a sailing ship in the Pacific, into models and tools that reveal complex interconnections, into practical placements, and into flexible lifelong learning courses that equip the workforce with new competencies. In this session aimed at teachers, students, and sustainability practitioners we engage in a conversation where teachers and students share experiences from sustainability teaching that fosters critical thinking, cross-disciplinary collaboration and skills for transformative action – across life. The session will conclude with a short interactive Q&A, inviting the audience to share perspectives and challenges.
