Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify components and educational design principles for strengthening sustainability competence in and through higher education.
Design/methodology/approach – This is a conceptual paper that uses an exemplary autobiographical empirical case study in order to illustrate and support a line of reasoning.
Findings – A number of “Gestalts” of mind-sets of sustainability competence and key elements of the learning processes needed for developing such competence have been identified.
