SDG Teach-In 2026
The 9th Annual SDG Teach-in took place from 1st March – 31st March 2026.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Teach-in is an annual event where universities across the UK aim to make links to one or more of the SDGs within their taught courses.
All of DMU’s taught courses and any other student or staff-led activities were invited to join in the teach-in. The event offered a great opportunity to showcase how learning on a course or at DMU can help students respond to societal challenges such as access to healthcare, social inequality, preserving ecosystems, combatting climate change or more.
The event was coordinated by the SOS-UK (Students Organising for Sustainability), which grew out of the sustainability work of the National Union of Students (NUS).
The SDG Teach-in will return at DMU in Spring 2027.
