THE-GLOW - Transdisciplinary Higher Education for Global Wellbeing

Description

In recent years, there has been increasing recognition at many levels that finding and implementing solutions to complex global problems requires deeply integrated activity from many disciplines, often called a transdisciplinary approach, and a workforce with the capabilities to implement such an approach. Traditionally higher education (HE) has been organised in discipline siloes with organisational, language and world view barriers to mutual understanding, let alone the sort of transdisciplinary action necessary to address complex global problems. This project will develop and implement within Thailand, a transdisciplinary postgraduate programme focused around the issue of climate change and specifically the call to action encompassed in Green Deal agendas. The courses will be implemented in the first instance by a Faculty of Agriculture (Kasetsart University), a Faculty of Public Health (Thammasat University) and a School of Environment, Resources and Development (Asian Institute of Technology) supported by Maastricht University (Netherlands) and Heidelberg University (Germany). Together the partners will develop and deliver nine transdisciplinary courses focused on Green Deal approaches, which will be combined at the end of the project to form a new degree of Master of Science in Transdisciplinary Practice.Partnerships with key government, private and civil society organisations are considered to be critical to ensuring the relevance and impact of the courses; so, these agencies will be involved from the beginning in planning the overall programme, developing and delivering curricula for each course. In addition, opportunities will be provided for personnel from these agencies to participate in courses for training.Through the Hub for Innovation in HE, the project seeks to engage other HEIs and relevant agencies to foster transdisciplinary education and practice, disseminate information and lessons learnt and sustain capacity building initiatives.
