| As the year draws to a close, this newsletter offers insights into topics that will accompany us this winter: a new podcast episode explores the future of learning and teaching, the Winter School invites you to rethink climate communication through poster design, and in February, the Urban Waters project will open a space where the arts, water, and societal reflection intertwine. |

WWF University Rating 2024 |
| |
The recently published WWF University Rating 2024, which examines and evaluates the sustainability of 29 Swiss universities, has this to say about ZHdK. |
"In a short time, ZHdK has managed to adapt institutionally to meet the challenges of sustainability. By focusing on the contribution of design and art to sustainability, ZHdK has quickly established itself as a role model for other art and design schools in Switzerland."
The full evaluation can be downloaded here. |

1–23 February 2025, Strandbad Tiefenbrunnen, Zurich
In February 2025, Strandbad Tiefenbrunnen in Zurich will be transformed into a unique space for connection, experience, and reflection. Water takes centre stage in this project – as an element and a natural resource. |
| In the heart of winter, you can experience the interplay of art, nature, and culture in an urban setting. With Urban Waters, ZHdK invites you to reflect on the ecological, social, and cultural significance of water. The programme, featuring performances, concerts, workshops, and much more, will be published here on an ongoing basis. |

Teaching Sustainably: Change and Learning Culture at ZHdK |

How can learning and teaching be shaped at a university that sees itself as a "learning institution"? In this episode of Hörpunkt Nachhaltigkeit, we explore how the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) integrates sustainable development with an inclusive and future-oriented learning culture. |
Bernadett Settele, project lead for teaching development in the Learning & Teaching dossier and lecturer in the Master’s programme in Art Education, along with Karin Zindel, co-head of the Sustainability dossier office, discuss the challenges and opportunities of making learning and teaching processes more sustainable.
