Abstract

How to create a context in and around the classroom to motivate business students to become global citizens and managers aware of the issues around sustainable development that are usually ignored by traditional academic teaching? How to make them aware of the issues, encourage them to take action, and enable them to act responsively?This chapter aims to build on our experience as teachers and educators in Business, Economics and Management education in our respective contexts-teaching sustainable development and management in a Business School in Canada; global environmental and social issues in an MBA program in finance and in a Business School in France; and Environmental Impact Assessment in a Department of Economics at a French university. It comprises three sections. The first describes our three experiences "teaching" sustainable development in the classroom to managers. The second section highlights how each of these experiences enhances the skills necessary for education in sustainable development based on Tilbury and Wortman's (2004) work. The last section summarizes some of the lessons learned and proposes future directions for research and practice.
