Project One - Liverpool John Moores University
The Joy Index Casebook: Professional Resources for Embedding Joyful, Responsible Management Education
Williams, Sarah; Skritsovali, Konstantina; Daly, Angela; Johnston, Wendy; & Starkey, Sally-Ann
This funding from PRME will enable the important work co-created with students to map areas of intellectual joy in teaching to be shared through professionally developed resources, including a casebook, practical tools, and accessible digital outputs. These resources will support educators to engage with the work in relational and meaningful ways, ensuring student insights can be shared, understood, and taken up across teaching contexts.
Project Two - Kemmy Business School, University of Limerick
The Project Twin: An Experiential Game-Based Approach to Responsible Management Education
Receiving the PRME award affirms the transformative potential of experiential 'analogue twin' games in embedding ethics, sustainability, and the SDGs into project management education. These tools empower accidental project managers worldwide to lead with purpose. I am excited to share scalable, joyful, and collaborative learning resources that strengthen the PRME community's commitment to responsible management.
Project Three - Lincoln International Business School, University of Lincoln
Embedding biodiversity into business education: an interdisciplinary ecopedagogical approach
The PRME Chapter UK and Ireland Innovative Pedagogy Competition award makes a significant difference to academic's ability to work collaboratively and creatively outside of our disciplines. I am honoured and humbled to receive this award and look forward to working on the project.
Project Four - Kemmy Business School, University of Limerick
The Sustainability Canvas: A Visual Pedagogic Tool to Embed PRME Across Disciplines
We are honoured to receive the PRME UK & Ireland Chapter Seed Funding for developing innovative pedagogic approaches. The award validates the need for tools that support educators in imagining future graduates as agents of sustainability and in engaging deeply with the responsibilities of their own disciplines. It enables the Sustainability Canvas to be further developed and shared as a resource for the wider PRME community, supporting collective learning and meaningful pedagogical change.
