This is a one hour workshop presented at the ACTS2011 conference in Adelaide. A variety of models and frameworks are used generate understanding of the barriers and drivers to build momentum for system (organisational) transformation towards sustainability. The workshop begins by encouraging participants to envision a sustainable campus. Current actions for sustainability across the key functional areas of research, teaching and learning, campus operations and community outreach are acknowledged and opportunities to build further momentum are identified. Finally, strategies are offered to synergise across these initiatives to achieve organisational transformation to sustainability. A case study of Harvard University is also provided to demonstrate how such a transformation can be achieved.
Student-directed engagement in community-linked STEM integration through coll...Kim Flintoff
Prepared for the Deakin STEM Education Conference 2021.
This paper will be co-authored by a team of participating Year 10 students who are working on a challenge-based learning project in their TIDES (Technology Innovation Design Enterprise Sustainability) class at Peter Carnley Anglican Community School.
They are considering a problem derived from the theme of National Science Week 2021 (Food: Different by Design). The focus on issues relating to Food Security has enabled them to create a body of work that supports deep engagement and a scope of learning that exceeds most traditional content-delivery models. They have been able to generate work that can be submitted across a variety of contexts and to enable entry to several external programs for recognition.
With their teacher, the students will describe and evaluate the processes and ways of working they have adopted, as well as highlighting how their work has produced interdisciplinary artifacts that can be used to guide and assess learning across a range of subject areas within their regular school timetable. They will also consider the benefits of student agency and external audiences in building engagement and focus in their learning. The students will discuss how programs such as Game Changer Awards, ANSTO National Science Week Hackathon, STEM4Innovation and think tank events provide platforms for the practice and application of their collaborative human-centered design-thinking process to enhance their learning in STEM and other areas across the curriculum.
Too often student experience of learning is not reflected in education conferences. As one of the most important voices in the whole system, they often struggle to be heard. This paper will provide insights into student perceptions of integrated STEM as an approach to meaningful learning that provides scope and depth of learning across many parts of the broader K-100 curriculum. Content and capabilities will be considered and the students along with their teacher will endeavour to unpack the benefits and challenges they encounter.

The scale for design action has been and still is expanding. A skill related to craftsmanship has evolved into a tool for societal change. Sustainable design involves negotiation of values and priorities, and balancing between the environmental, social, and financial factors. Thus, its processes must address several dimensions of different stakeholder interests. Designers can help to create platforms for such activities. In the end the collaborative - and systemic - approach may help to facilitate the co-creation of new, more sustainable way of life.
This keynote sheds light on what makes a design process sustainable, how different design methodologies can induce sustainability, and how design education can better support this goal. Through examples in design education and in contemporary sustainable design the keynote argues that to become more sustainable the design process must become more open and transparent, more sensitive to values and dialogue, and thus more iterative and reflective. Such development calls for open problem-based approach, collaborative mediation and distributed knowledge - a transdisciplinary design approach.
Design education for sustainability can enable the future professionals to better facilitate the collaboration and communication among several participants, to drive the important agendas. Design tackling complex contemporary problems of sustainability should aim to facilitate such platforms for transdisciplinary dialogues. Whether they are built top-down or then emerging from the grass roots, whether they are based on design aiming to improve or on design aimed to criticize, they must be aimed to induce dialogues on values and goals, and contribute for the change towards more sustainable setting for human life.

The digital age has paved way for a dynamic era of corporate communication. Everything from blogs and RSS feeds to webinars and social media give organizations new tools with which to interact directly with their stakeholders. Such interactive communications are often referred to as viral, because ideas and opinions spread through the network via word‐of‐mouth and are usually perceived as highly trustworthy sources.

10. − Our actions are guided by sustainability
− We manage change (advisory and practical services, wide range of
sectors, on behalf of clients inside Germany and around the world
− Owned by the Federal Republic of Germany, organised as a private-
sector entity
− Operations in Germany and in over 130 countries around the world,
around 17,000 employees, business volume of some 2 billion
euros in 2011
− We work innovatively (learning organisation, knowledge sharing,
mobilize networks)
211 About GIZ
Yale
11. − The webinar – again – highlighted that sustainable low-carbon
societies (/economies) require “multi sectoral”, “multi stakeholder”
“integrated”, “multi dimensional” approaches 0
− Each webinar showed a specific approach, but each time new
questions emerged (as usual0) – most of them raised by the critical
online community/participants
− Technical perspectives alone rarely suffice – strong institutional,
methodological and human capacities are indispensable
− Throughout the webinar series we have learned that relevant
solutions are to be found “in-between” different perspectives,
approaches, disciplines, institutions00.

22. Focus on policy learning
− Cashore: causal knowledge about policy instruments
− Review hypotheses, unlike consensus dialogues
− Multitude of perspectives necessary
• Elliot: cross-sectoral perspective landscapes
• Verkooijen: look through “climate lens” forests as
part of low carbon pathways
− Example: the curious case of legality verification, triple win
of climate smart agriculture
− Policy learning can reduce the number of blind spots
if inter-dependencies are successfully addressed
214
Yale
23. − Challenge: sectoral set-up of institutions does not respond to
cross-sectoral problems
− Cashore: promote “policy baskets” (Gunningham)
− Buck: policy assessments important, e.g. GFEP
− Elliot: engage the private sector
− Joint agenda “climate lens”?
− Examples: legality verification / forest certification, REDD+ /
FLEG(T)
− Institutional intersection mitigates risks from blind spots
if robust leadership copes with acceleration
215 Focus on institutional intersection
Yale
24. − 3 Competence clusters (cooperative
transformational, innovative action)
− Management principles based on peer-
learning, reflection (theory “U”), rapid proto-
typing, process orientation and openness
− Elliot: evaluate your own work using your
networks
− Robust Leadership skills enable rapid coping
with blind spots
216 Focus on robust leadership skills
Yale
25. − Buck: from knowledge transfer model to network model of
knowledge diffusion
− Fast access to knowledge and ideas
− Make use of social networks
− Management challenge: organisational integration of networks
(governance issue)
− Example: GEM as a global learning initiative = “connecting the
dots” (e.g. link networks through advisory board)
− Networks can reduce size of blind spots
217 Focus on network-based innovation processes
