Transformative Learning
A learning strategy for survival
Are we destroying our livelihoods? Personally, I believe that our world has a systemic error and we must wake up to see the problems we face such as the loss of biodiversity and in the same time relate to the ongoing climate crisis. As Professor Trond Gansmo Jakobsen presents it, it is our values we must look at. Transformative learning involves a restructuring of our thoughts, feelings and actions in relation to solidarity with fellow human beings and an understanding of quality of life, joy and wellbeing. Transformative learning is also about stimulating wonder and rediscovery of the "mystery" (sense of the sacred) which is about feeling togetherness in the world, to the earth and the life systems.
Online further education
Sustainability leadership for people, planet, and prosperity
This development project aims to develop a online, part time study programme for continuing professional development.
The programme in sustainability leadership will especially be suited for people who are aiming to develop their capacity for leading sustainable development processes and practices in their professional settings. It is therefore designed to support leaders to navigate the issues they are facing, related to political, economic, social, and environmental challenges.
This online programme is relevant for both current and aspiring leaders in private, public and non-governmental sectors, and for those striving to align their organization’s work with social and environmental responsibilities and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The programme will be organised in a flexible manner to accommodate the busy schedule of working professionals and support their needs for continuing professional development.
Green production & Planet Placement in the screen Industry
Global collaborating to learn

Peer-mentoring, 2017
«Camille Z. Thisell har vært veileder for meg ibm gjennomføring og rammeverk for forelesning i valgkompetanse. Dette dreide seg om i oppstart av forelesningen å avklare studentenes forventninger til innhold og diskusjonsmuligheter, samt ved avslutning gjennomføre evaluering av oppfylte forventninger og i tillegg øvrig innhold. Dette rammeverket fungerte svært bra for både meg som foreleser og studentene. Studentene ga tilbakemeldinger om å bli sett og hørt og at det i tillegg skapte gode rammer for interaksjon mellom studenter og foreleser».
Steve Arrowood, 2010 (Steve managed Camille directly)
