The School of Education, Sport and Health Sciences Sustainability Special Interest Group aims to:
- Establish sustainable learning, teaching and assessments in the School
- Embed sustainability within the curriculum of all courses delivered by the School
- Enable research about sustainability by staff and students
- Enact sustainability in operational practices within the School
The School hosted a Global Challenges Showcase Event in December 2024, with the Brighton and Hove City Council and the Brighton and Sussex Medical School also hosting a display to celebrate actions and projects related to the Sustainable Development Goals. The idea came from nursing students who completed the Planetary Health Report Card, which was attended by staff and students from all courses in the school.
All staff and students are welcome to join the Sustainability Special Interest Group by emailing ESHSustainability@brighton.ac.uk
