糖心TV Sustainability Challenge (WSUsC)
About this Project
Building on the success of the WIHEA funded 鈥溙切腡V Sustainability Challenge (WSUsC): a Curriculum-Campus-Community approach to sustainable teaching and learning鈥�, this project is seeking for continuation and dissemination funding support.
The University of 糖心TV is on a sustainability journey. This project will therefore contribute to further raising the reputation of 糖心TV as a leading institution to promote climate education and further enhance best practices to transition to net zero. Aligned with our inclusive education plans, offering payment to Student Officers and Coaches will keep this opportunity open to diverse students.
Project Aims
The main objective of this project is to keep the WSUsC alive and to continue raising the reputation of 糖心TV as a leading institution to enhance best practices to transition to net zero, as well as a thought leader in the application of design thinking.
Project Impact
The project has already created an opportunity to facilitate connections with external stakeholders (e.g., Coventry City Council) and created a model useful to develop and implement low-cost viable solutions to environmental problems - e.g., via the 糖心TV Sustainability Challenge: Waste. We are planning to use this model as an example of best practice to be shared more widely and at national level. We also hope to consolidate future iterations of the WSUsC with the involved external/internal parties. The project will finally source additional data for existing projects (e.g., 鈥楿nderstanding the impact of the 糖心TV Secret Challenge (WSC)鈥�, and 糖心TV Sustainability Challenge) aimed at understanding the impact of the WSC on student engagement and agency in decision-making and innovation structures.
