| Abstract |
Designing Circular Economy (CE) educational programmes to a diverse group of learners presents challenges and opportunities. This paper shares insights from the development of a CE educational programme for disadvantaged learners through the BLUEPRINT project. It explores the pivotal role Business Schools in Higher Education Institutions (HEI) play by serving as a bridge between business and society in the transition to a CE. Through the lens of pedagogical approaches from education for sustainable development (ESD) theories, the paper discusses CE educational programmes and explores the barriers at a learner, academic institution, and stakeholders level. It presents the benefits of co-creation for the design of CE educational material to equip learners with the skills required to deal with the ever-changing landscape in our society, environment, and economy. The paper makes recommendations on the application of ESD to turn challenges into opportunities for HEI when developing CE educational materials for the community which require a different approach to those for the HEI curriculum. |
