Göran Finnvedens last blogg as Vice President After almost ten years Göran Finnveden leaves his position as Vice President for Sustainable Development at KTH. Read his last blogg: Ten years with focus on sustainable development KTH Sharing Mapjam, 19 feb Put Sharing on the Map! A MapJam is an event under the KTH SforS Resource Sharing project where a small, dedicated group of people get together for a while to map as many sharing services in their city or town as possible. Like a music jam, it will be fun, social, and interactive. KTH and the surrounding areas have a magnitude of resources right from physical resources such as study spaces, microwaves, sports equipment, cutlery used by different student organisations to non-physical resources such as skills and knowledge which can be shared among the student community. On the map you can, among other things, find bike kitchens, swap groups, clothing swap days, free shops and digital platforms. Our aim is to facilitate this exchange of resources so that students can make the most use of resources at their disposal and unnecessary consumption is reduced.The Smart Map will make it easier for people to live more sustainably, by encouraging community, new meetings and access over ownership. The mapjam at KTH is hosted by KTH Students for Sustainability and KTH Sustainability Office.

Why were electric cars considered “feminine” when they first arrived more than 100 years ago? Hear Katrine Marçal talk about why the future will be shaped by companies that dare to think differently about women and inclusion. Mer info och registrering finns här Workshop: Skräddarsy moment kring hållbar utveckling i din undervisning med hjälp av webbplattform Plattformen är ett verktyg som kan användas kostnadsfritt av lärare på KTH och som har utvecklats i samarbete mellan KTH och Snowflake Education. Webbplattformen bygger på lärandeprincipen om ”blended learning”, dvs. att utnyttja det bästa av både klassrumsaktiviteter och nätaktiviteter. På online-plattformen finns det inspelade föreläsningar, stöd för interaktiva klassrumsseminarier, förslag på litteratur, lärarhandledningar samt infrastruktur för datorbaserade kunskapsprov och inlämningsuppgifter. Klassrumsaktiviteterna utgår från ett antal pedagogiska brädspel som har utvecklats specifikt för att användas inom lärande för hållbar utveckling.
