Piloting a well-being and resilience intervention in a course on digitalization for sustainability
Paper i proceeding, 2023

Within computing education, developing sustainability competencies is still a fledgling learning objective. In the International Summer School on Sustainability at Gothenburg University, we developed a course titled Digitalizatoin in a Changing World that emphasized the individual well-being and resilience aspect of individuals as a prerequisite for developing IT that serves the Sustainable Development Goals. We piloted an intervention that had students explore a well-being practice and reflect on their daily state. The students' feedback in surveys and interviews indicates that those practices benefit their well-being and resilience. We conclude the relevance of integrating mental and emotional health into university curricula in a field that develops the systems that run the world.
