This paper describes the development of an EGAP course through the implementation of Backward Design. It charts each stage of the design process from course conception to developing a course framework and then classroom materials. One of the aims of the course was to develop a course which is sustainable, that is one which can be used in a variety of settings with students from different academic disciplines across subsequent cohorts. This was achieved by blending classroom materials with an active VLE and basing the course on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, which lend themselves to multidisciplinary study.
