Resources

The OSIER project (Open Sustainability in Education Resource) is concerned with the open sharing of resources for the teaching of sustainable development and global citizenship. It forms part of the second round of the HEFCE-funded UK OER programme, administered jointly by the Higher Education Academy and the Joint Information Systems Committee.

With its academic partners, OSIER has built an online repository containing a large body of teaching and support resources to help with the sustainability and citizenship curricula in all four nations of the UK. The repository is open for all users, both to access materials and for submission of new resources. All materials are fully accessible and re-usable, and made available under a Creative Commons licence.
