We were very pleased to start our Asia Education Leader 2004 Winter Course Pre-study Sessions with a lecture by Prof. Zhong Zhou, assocaite professor at Institute of Education, Tsinghua University, on Oct.27. It was our honor to invite Prof. Zhong and her team to join this session on site. In the lecture, which was about sustainability competence, Prof. Zhong first explained concepts and theories about sustainability and competence. Then, she invited students to have a discussion on their understanding of sustainability competence and share their discussion results. By echoing students' opinions, Prof. Zhong and Mr. Pengqing Yu shared their ways of building a framework of sustainability competence and analyzing sustainability competence. Before concluding the session, students raised questions and discussed about the sustainability competence framework and how to use it in education.

 

As the first session of Asia Education Leader 2024 Winter Course Pre-study series, there were 44 participants from AELC member universities who joined this session. We wish students could enhance their understanding of sustainability competence and build new networks with each other for their new AELC adventure!

 

The second session of the AEL 2024 Winter Course Pre-study series will be on Nov.28.
