  1. Workshops on the Objectives of Sustainable Development: Teaching proposals in a theory-practice workshop format with complementary activities for further learning to promote knowledge and critical reflection on current crises and challenges regarding the OSD from a glocal perspective of inequality and facilitating tools for action to change them. This is carried out within the framework of a number of subjects from different disciplines and designed collaboratively with the professional involved.

 

  1. Specialisation in Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship: This interdisciplinary course, coordinated by the Faculty of Political Science and Sociology is aimed at Bachelor’s degree students on any course at the UAB and is taken as an optional credits course. It offers analytical tools to understand the dynamics of structural inequality generated by the prevailing model and deals with paradigms of development founded on the principles of economic, social and environmental sustainability. At the same time it facilitates knowledge of strategies and mechanisms for public participation with a view to potential change. Website of the Specialisation in Sustainable Development

  1. Higher Education Teaching Innovation Group: The teaching innovation group of the UAB “Transferable competences of critical thinking and ethical commitment for improving learning” is an interdisciplinary group linked to the Institute for Economic and Social Development (IDES) which offers a space for reflection on teaching around the two transferable competences and orientations for transfer to teaching practice. UAB teaching innovation groups

As a result of the work of this group and that of the two training sessions that have taken place, a conceptual framework has been defined on the competences of critical thinking and ethical commitment which has been published in: 
"CRITICAL THINKING AND ETHICAL COMMITMENT AS TRANSFERABLE COMPETENCES IN UNIVERSITY TEACHING" (Available in Catalan)
