Spring 2021
Campus Learning Community and Virtual
Symposium Schedule TBA
The
Sustainable Cities Campus Learning Community takes place
during the 2020-21 academic year at Miami Dade College
(MDC) Padrón and North campuses.
Participating faculty from both campuses will
integrate elements of United Nations Sustainable
Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
into their curricula through the Fall and Spring terms.
MDC’s Earth Ethics Institute (EEI) and the
Institute for Civic Engagement and Democracy (iCED) will
offer support in the form of content, programming, and
related civic engagement changemaking opportunities for
MDC students.
Both academic terms will culminate in a symposium
featuring student projects, guest speakers, film
screenings, special events/activities, and more.
The
Sustainable Cities Campus Learning Community offers the
opportunity for faculty to employ such high-impact
pedagogies as academic service-learning, project-based
learning, and changemaking education.
It also offers a framework for not only the study
of sustainability but examining current events and
social issues through the lens of urban sustainability.
Additionally, such topics as urban design, green
spaces, poverty, transportation, and more are all “fair
game” for faculty to tackle.
MDC faculty already participating in EEI’s Global
Sustainability and Earth Literacy Studies (GSELS)
learning network as well as implementing the Civic
Action Scorecard through iCED will find extending into
the campus learning community an easy yet rewarding
stretch.
