The world of Sustainability, Society and You participants
It’s been great to see so many people joining in with our upcoming MOOC Sustainability, Society and You from all over the world and in so many occupations and walks of life. Although the course hasn’t started yet it is possible to join in the Welcome discussion once you’ve signed up for the course (the course opens next Monday 2nd November). We are also using the hashtag #flsustain on Twitter.
It’s one of the most enjoyable features of this course each time it has run that the course team learn much from the participants. We look forward to hearing where everyone is in their individual sustainability journeys, the choices you have made and the suggestions you can offer us all.
We have a lot of students this time as there are many students joining in from the University of Nottingham’s campuses in the UK, Malaysia and China, as well as students from many other institutions around the world.
