Join us for R&D Unplugged #7 with Manon Sala

The role of educators in building a caring and sustainable university

Within the framework of the French government’s recommendations for Ecological and Social Transitions in Higher Education by 2026, the focus is on examining educators’ capacity to develop new curricula and institutional guidelines. Educators are framed as a « creative middle ground, » capable of driving both structural changes and fostering psychosocial competencies within learning communities. This approach aims to explore how the interaction between these two levels of action can influence the development of new learning cultures and contribute to a more sustainable and caring society.
