Curriculum Mapping

Our Curriculum Mapping opportunity is now live and you can sign up here. Our first training session is on Monday 12th February on Zoom, grab a ticket here. The Guild has been running the curriculum mapping project in collaboration with SOS-UK for several years. Student volunteers take their education into their own hands and map their modules against the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. This year we are continuing to run the project but have developed it to include decolonising criteria. As decarbonisation and decolonisation are so closely linked we felt this was the natural next step for the project. If you volunteer 7 + hours on the project (which the Zoom session counts towards), this activity can be uploaded to your Higher Education Achievement Report when you graduate.If you want to find out more, visit the Guild’s Volunteering webpages.
