Information Fair on Sustainable Behaviour
During the reception after the talk, you will have the opportunity to discuss your personal climate footprint, and steps that can personally be taken towards sustainable behaviour, with two experts from the Leuphana University Lüneburg.
About the participants
Dr. Erin Redman is a research associate at Leuphana University Luneburg where she coordinates the implementation and research for the Sustainability Education: Continuing Professional Development for School Teachers and Faculty project. After having lead a multi-million USD effort to develop and run Sustainability Teachers' Academies around the United States, Dr. Redman has joined with a team of international experts to translate and adapt the successful model to international contexts (three additional countries so far). She has worked with teachers and faculty in professional development from Ghana, Columbia, Mexico and Ireland to name a few and is passionate about enabling teachers to be leaders in delivering effective, competency based sustainability education right now to the next generation.
Aaron Redman is a doctoral research associate at Leuphana University of Luneburg where he is one of two post-docs on the Educating Future Change Agents project. This project seeks to find generalisable insights through a set of interlocking comparative case studies in the USA and Germany. Aaron is simultaneously finishing his PhD at Arizona State University's School of Sustainability where his research is focused on better framing competency based education and developing effective assessment tools for its attainment. Prior to this, Aaron had worked for the National University of Mexico and on community scale development projects in El Salvador. This background has sparked a strong interest in the Sustainable Development Goals and leading to an exploratory project with The Dell Foundation to explore measuring the contributions that ICT businesses could be making to the global sustainability agenda.
