Sustainable development goals as a teaching framework across three AMICAL institutions

The purpose of this presentation is to share teaching experiences of three AMICAL Institutions (American University in Cairo, American University of Central Asia, American College of Greece) on Sustainable Development Goals. While based on different continents and facing local challenges, especially during Covid-19, the three institutions brought their students together in discussion and shared learning around this common theme. The presentation will include the activities implemented on the three campuses as well as collaborative inter-institutional efforts, highlighting common student learning outcomes, including student peer support, sensitisation to cultural diversity and human similarity, and recognition of contextual privilege and power dynamics.

Project collaborators: Stella Apostolaki (Associate Lecturer in Environmental Sciences, ACT), Tamo Chattopadhay (Associate Professor of Politics and International Studies, AUCA), and Amani Elshimi (Senior Instructor of Rhetoric and Composition, AUC).
