One of the KTH-wide projects that started in 2024 within the programme Future Education at KTH is "Challenge-driven education with wicked problems for sustainable development and transformation". The project will strengthen existing challenge-driven courses and teachers that address wicked problems for sustainable development and transformation, and enable the upscaling and dissemination of such forms of education to more educational programmes.
Podcast host Johan and co-host Gunnart Tibert, Deputy Programme Manager of Future Education at KTH, meet the project managers to discuss the project and related key concepts, such as: is there a difference, and if so, what is the difference between challenge-driven education and problem-based learning? And why is this and wicked problems important for the future of education at KTH?
Today's guests: Anders Rosén and Lena Gumaelius
Both Lena and Anders are active in the KTH Global Development Hub , which has an important role in the project.
Storträffen is part of the quality system at KTH. At this autumn's Storträff on 28 November, there will be at least one discussion table on wicked problems, one of which will be led by Gunnar Tibert. You can now register and vote for discussion topics for the Storträffen, which this time has the overall theme: When everyone contributes - Small efforts make a big difference.
