The BUP shares a call for applications to the

BUP Teachers' Training 2026

This three-day training aims to strengthen the implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and the UN Agenda 2030 within teaching and learning practices in higher education. The event takes place on 12-15 October 2026 and is titled 'Sustainability Competences – Sharing Knowledge, Best Practices, and Challenges'.

The four "Sustainability Competences"—Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Creativity—form a central foundation of ESD and will be the keywords of this event.

The training is organised as a cooperation between the BUP Associated Secretariat in Finland, at Åbo Akademi University, and the BUP National Centre in Latvia, at Riga Technical University.

The event offers an opportunity not only to gain new insights, but also to exchange experiences with colleagues from across the Baltic Sea Region. Participants will get the opportunity to co-create interdisciplinary learning tools for sustainable futures, forming and testing a learning scenario.

During the program, there will be a session focused on the participants' own reflections and examples from their teaching practice. Preparing experiences to share is not mandatory, but doing so will increase the likelihood of being accepted into the training.

We welcome applications from teachers, educators and researchers at BUP participating universities. The application deadline is 15 May 2026, 23:59 (CET).
