Educator Hub

As an area of growing excellence at UCL, challenge-led education is becoming a cornerstone of higher education, encouraging students to engage with real-world issues through interdisciplinary exploration. We’re here to support you in embedding challenge-led learning into your teaching practice.

Teaching around the Grand Challenges offers students who care about the planet and their communities an opportunity to learn how to turn their knowledge into impact. In doing so, they learn essential skills that will benefit them in their future careers. Explore our resources to find out more.

Embedding Grand Challenges in teaching means: 

Giving students the tools to address complex, real-world problems.

Allowing students to learn important skills such as collaboration and critical thinking.

Empowering students to apply what they learn in tangible, rewarding ways.
