Academics Unplugged WUR

This is Academics Unplugged. We organized bottom-up decision-making and policy co-creation at Wageningen University and Research.

In the UK parliament, yesterday.
Curricula that teach the climate and biodiversity crises should be promoted, supported, maybe even mandatory.
@Radboud_Uni took a great first step. How about @WUR?

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

Young people have been calling for climate education in schools.

Alongside students from @_TeachtheFuture, I was proud to present the first ever student-written Bill to Parliament, which would make this law.

After working on this together for 2 years, today we made history.

Diana Lopez Ramirez on how @WUR education currently ignores critical skills to foster the impact of research, and how we desperately need to change that!!

We should critically reflect on the idea that academics and activism cannot go hand in hand. At what point should a scientist step in? #AcademicChatter #AcademicActivism

That's right, and we'll keep pushing! Let's Unplug Academics and re-evaluate our views on education, research and our uni's role in the planetary crises!

Tomorrow, we organize an event called "People Decide: Deliberative decision-making in Practice" as part of the #sesu2020. We'll share and discuss experiences and visions on #curricula at @WUR.
