The School's undergraduate module Digital Innovation for the SDGs has been featured by the HEA in its Spotlight Series on Education for Sustainable Development.
The module co-developed by Professors Linda Hogan, Tim Savage, (Computer Science & Statistics), PJ Wall, (TU Dublin) and Sanyka Banerjee (then Indian Institute of Technology, Jodhpur) connected students from Ireland and India in a collaborative online learning experience, so that they could interrogate and address the global, intercultural dimensions of sustainability. Students taking Digital Innovation for the SDGs in Trinity, and taking Indigenous Innovation: Jugaad at the Indian Institute of Technology, Jodhpur worked together in mixed groups on a four-week, assessed, comparative sustainability exercise.
The experience was designed to extend classroom learning into a cross-cultural, international dimension and align with the principles of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), which emphasises equipping learners with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to address global challenges through cooperation and critical reflection (UNESCO, 2017).
