Abstract

This report provides a summary of discussions at an event held at the University of Stirling on 2nd April 2009 for the Higher Education Academy Scotland, in conjunction with the HE Academy Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Project. The event was designed and facilitated on behalf of the HE Academy ESD Project by Dr Colin Brooks and Dr Alex Ryan to explore the intersection of ‘ESD’1 with two related thematic topics in HE: ‘employability’ and ‘external engagement’. Following an overview of the context (Section 1) and format (Section 2) of the event, an outline of the two headline presentations is provided in Section 3. The outcomes of the afternoon discussions and the closing remarks from participants are reflected in Section 4. In Section 5, the organisers reflect on the event, drawing conclusions and suggesting further action points to be included in the ongoing planning for the second stage of the UN Decade for ESD in Scotland.
