Our Process
In practice, our first goal is to collaborate with the course teaching team to identify meaningful connections between the course and the cross-cutting themes. The course serves as the foundational element for integrating the themes, and the learning goals must align with the context. Next, we develop a framework for the learning goals related to the cross-cutting themes, drawing from sustainability pedagogy, entrepreneurship, and creativity education. Once suitable learning goals are defined, our team is available to co-develop and experiment with course interventions, including methods, sessions, and exercises.
We also collaborate with Aalto’s Career Design Lab to integrate employability competencies into teaching in different schools and programmes at Aalto.
