Curricular Transformation –responsible management education and creating tomorrow’s leaders.
Curricular Transformation is central to oikos Copenhagen’s existence and mission as it aims to integrate sustainability into the university's study programmes. This project leverages curricular innovation to bridge the gap between the current and future needs of profound sustainability knowledge for the leaders of tomorrow.
It seems increasingly obvious that the business world, policy makers, and international organizations have an increasing demand for graduates with sustainability knowledge. Graduates influence in large part how the world is shaped and we need them to have the proper understanding and tools to do this adequately. Importantly so, it is imperative to increase the awareness and interest of students about sustainable economics and management.
Curricular Transformation is supported and collaborates closely with the CBS Dean of Education, CBS PRME, and CBS Sustainability. The project instils change by collecting and sharing relevant data to express the need and desire for sustainability-related courses and programs. This is followed by the incorporation of sustainability in the university’s curricula as the team works closely with study-boards, professors and students to make tangible changes.
Example of previous initiatives:
Collection of data and creation of a report to highlight the importance of sustainability to study boards and CBS’ faculties.
Adding sustainability components in study boards and some courses.
Pilot project of incorporating sustainability as an integrated learning outcome for study programs.
Organising workshops on the SGDs, Carbon Literacy and the Nordic 9.
