Education for sustainability scholarship argues that sustainability competence is more than cognitive domain learning that is traditionally (over) focused on reason, knowledge application and testing. Affective domain is missing from the education curricula in general (Sowel, 2005, Dernikos et al, 2020), and in Higher Education in Sustainability (HES) (Shepard, 2008). Yet, “it is possible to construct an argument that the essence of education for sustainability is a quest for affective outcomes” (Shepard, 2008). For example, there is a link between personal values and sustainability performance (Potocan 2021), and emotional intelligence has been seen to be “the foundation of a more cooperative and compassionate [sustainable] society” (Estrada, Rodriguez, Moliner, 2021).

The form and format of a ‘teaching case’ implies ready-to-use teaching material that can be easily integrated within a module and/or curriculum. This is why we created (and tested across three pilots and with more than 250 students) ‘Researching the city: Mapping imaginaries’ teaching case accompanied by teachers’ training materials, sensory toolkit, all accessible through an online platform, the ‘Knowledge hub’ that further showcases the works of our students, their walks through our cities and the arguments why we all have to understand and connect in meaningful ways with urban areas that are often seen as in the so-called ‘periphery’ (or further away from the city centres).

Presentation 2nd International New Business Model Conference 2018In current society, we observe the emergence of new collaborative forms of organising on a regional scale in which civilians, organisations, and institutions engage in processes of collective action (Ostrom, 2009, 2010a). We refer to these novel forms of organising as communities. We set out to understand how constituents in these communities collaboratively determine their strategic objectives aand subsequently plan and engage in multiple value creating activities that address wicked problems (Faber & Jonker, 2015; Weber & Khademian, 2008). The aim of this contribution is to develop a typology of regional communities trying to address wicked problems through collective action.
