Hosted by 2022-23 Responsible Futures Host Partnership, the University of Derby and Derby Union of Students, this interactive webinar will bring together staff and students from Responsible Futures partnerships to explore the role nature connectedness can play in tertiary education across all subjects.

The webinar will first explore the University of Derby and Derby Union of Students' work on nature connectedness, and the importance of addressing society’s broken relationship with nature, including the implications for personal wellbeing and positive environmental action. It will then move on to explore how nature connectedness might be drawn into formal, informal and subliminal curricula, and facilitate discussion amongst participants on experiences of nature connectedness in tertiary education and exploration of how this can be more deeply embedded in student learning.

All staff and students from Responsible Futures partnerships are welcome.
