Education

AtKisson tools and methods are increasingly being adopted by schools, universities, and educational associations. We have worked with education ministries, networks of sustainability educators, and individual schools. AtKisson is establishing partnerships with programs at leading regional universities to help spread the ISIS Method and ISIS Accelerator tools to teachers and students around the world. These include historic Uppsala University in Sweden, and the prominent University of Science Malaysia in SE Asia, among others.

In 2009, we will be launching a new program support primary and secondary schools that want to use the ISIS Accelerator in teaching and school management. Called "Compass Schools," the program builds on the popular of our "Compass of Sustainability" as a teaching tool for sustainable development.

Here are three examples from our extensive experience in the education sector:

Baltic University Programme, Uppsala University
The Baltic University is a network of over 200 universities around the Baltic Sea. It supports diffusion of sustainability education materials, training programs for students, and capacity building for teachers and professors in the region. AtKisson is working closing with BUP to help spread the ISIS Method in this region.

Thailand Ministry of Environment
Working with the Ministry, AtKisson's SE Asia Affiliate, Systainability, has trained over 40 pilot schools in Thailand on the use of the ISIS Accelerator to support implementation of the country's first "Eco-School Policy."

Imperial College London, Stockholm University, and others
AtKisson has often provided workshop, lecture, and related services to a variety of universities, in support of their Masters programs in sustainability-related subjects.
