• The event was targeted at sustainability experts as well as teachers
interested in sustainability teaching. It provided a kick start for launching a
network of sustainability experts in Aalto.
• The event introduced tools to support sustainability integration in
teaching.
• The tools, peer support and pedagogical expertise and models can also be
used to integrate other interdisciplinary themes into teaching.
• The occasion was a part of a teaching development roadshow organized by
Academic Engineers and Architects in Finland TEK in cooperation with
universities.

• For many participants this was the first time when sustainability teachers,
experts or those interested in it came together in Aalto University.
• The different forms of pedagogical support in Aalto University were
profoundly presented: pedagogical mentoring and theoretical pedagogical
courses support each other and give tools for teachers to integrate
sustainability -as well as other interdisciplinary themes- in their courses.
• Teachers started planning how to do cooperation within sustainability
theme.
• A list of those skills, competencies and attitudes that could be enhanced
and supported by this group of participating experts was created. The
utilization of this will need coordination and systematic marketing in Aalto.
Annukka Jyrämä (Relations Manager, Research and Innovation Services,
annukka.jyrama@aalto.fi ) will be coordinating this.
