Abstract

The MA Professional Practice (Sustainable Development Advocacy) is delivered in partnership by the University of Worcester and the Bulmer Foundation between 2003 and 2009. The programme integrates work-based learning with education for sustainable development. Its student projects have catalysed real change within many local businesses and communities. The network of graduates is working to create new paths towards sustainability within organisations and communities, locally and globally. In this way the programme exemplifies the Brundtland principles of sustainable development; the call by Lord Stern for urgent action to re-orientate the economy towards greater environmental sustainability; and the recommendation of the Leitch Review that skills development should be led by the needs of employers.

Extra Information:	PLEASE NOTE: "The article states that the course did not run in 2009/10, which is incorrect. The course did in fact run, with no intake of new students, while it was modernised and re-validated. The course has continued to run successfully, with a new cohort of students in 2010-11 and again for the coming academic year, 2011-12. I am requesting that this correction to te article should be published." (comment from the Programme leader for the course discussed in the article). If a corrected version should become available the record will be updated.
