Connectivity & Inclusivity in higher education: A solutions’ based approach from environmental sustainability: Connectivity as an antidote for fragmentation

Cecilia Medupin, Cindy Regalado, Matthew Burrows

Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

The golden thread running through this report is that we can learn from connectivity within nature’s ecosystem to recognise our interdependence with nature and other humans. This helps us to understand how to connect with one another in contemporary times when we have silos and fragmentation brought about by social, technological, developmental, ecological, economic boundaries
and hierarchies. The overall aim of the project was to explore the application of ecological connectivity in nature to improving institutional connectivity among human in HEIs and other organisations.- One of the objectives was to understand what EDIA meant to participants and to reveal gaps in practice,
knowledge, understanding, interpretation, policy, etc. While we have equality and inclusivity as part of the goals of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), the study showed through this project that gaps can be filled if people, institutions, and units are more connected and inclusive.
