DA332 is a level 3 module worth 60 credits. It uses historical and modern examples to explore how religion influences knowledge, experience of environment, and sustainability. The module looks at how religion may empower or hinder active participation in environmental or sustainability issues. It connects with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and UNESCO sustainability competencies. Students regularly reflect on their development of these competencies during the module. For example: in one task students learn how to explain complex issues to non-experts and add reflections about their skills development in reflective journal they are supported to update throughout the module. The journal can be kept in a format of their choice e.g. podcast, vlog, or blog. Students can also choose between these formats to present their assignments. They can use Open University tools or their own devices to record MP3 or MP4 files.
