Presentation
The participants in this workshop got introduced to the WWF double strategy to change teaching: top-down - putting pressure or negotiate with government officials or universities, and bottom-up - providing advice and help to universities and lecturers. Currently, they are working on a survey to get an overview of sustainable development in degree courses at Swiss universities. Through this survey, faculty could be made aware that they are running behind in methods and then specific training could be applied. It can also be a starting point for collaborations with students, other organizations or universities and could be transferred to other countries.
