University of the Arts London
Sustainability Award
Applications are welcomed from individuals and course teams that model the University’s commitment to create a culture of social and environmental awareness and who can demonstrate a substantial and significant positive impact upon the student experience through the integration of sustainable and ethical practice. Applications may be based upon the practice of an individual, a course team or on a specific curriculum initiative.
We will recognise excellent practise:
- That builds upon existing scholarship/staff competencies and/or practices of sustainability in a holistic approach to education for sustainable development
- That involves and engages students in co-development of approaches to sustainable development, experiential, participatory and learner-centred education
- That builds capacity for sustainability through: both internal and external links/developments, ‘learning communities’, the sharing of tools and understanding/challenging current practice
- Where students demonstrate critical reflection on practices to create ecological, social, political and economic value
- Which result in staff/students making a positive contribution to others and their social and natural environment, locally and/or globally
- Where as a result unsustainable practice is challenged and transformed
- Where through engagement with diverse groups, cultures, generations, spaces, places and disciplines alternative approaches to sustainable practice are developed
Applications do not have to meet all criteria.
