Two successes with the ADM-HEA

In January and February this year, Senior Lecturer in Journalism at Sunderland, Alex Lockwood, and project convenor for Green Media Environments, won one bid and was awarded another pot of funding from the ADM-HEA for a network and teaching project:

1. Sparking Sustainability
With colleagues from the PRAXIS-Community Media hub at the University of Sunderland, Alex Lockwood from GME successfully bid to the ADM-HEA under their Education for Sustainable Development funding stream for the ‘Sparking Sustainability’ project, to increase sustainable development content in the curriculum. This project begins in April 2010 and brings expert professional practitioners in to work with students and the local community on a project aimed at asking people to think and define for themselves, within media practice, what sustanability can be as a tool for better living.

2. MeCCSA Climate Change, Environment and Sustainabilty Network
With Einar Thorsen (Bournemouth), Alex Lockwood from GME has been granted a fund from the ADM-HEA to convene a network supporting media theorists, practitioners and teachers to connect around the themes of climate change, environment and sustainability. The MeCCSA-CCES network currently supports over 60 academics and practitioners worldwide in sharing knowledge, interest and projects around the themes.
