In this workshop we will present and discuss the outlines of a white paper on teaching structural geology and tectonics in the 21st century, which aims to address the following aspects:

- How to define a successful SG&T curriculum and essential components thereof, and how to best deal with a constrained BSc curriculum (what content goes where?).
- Innovative approaches to teaching structural geology and tectonics and how to integrate modern teaching approaches (e.g. flipped classrooms, virtual outcrops, youtube) and technologies (digital mapping, modeling, 3D-4D, in-class room experiments). How to deal with very large class sizes, low levels of engagement and background knowledge?
- Field work and strategies on how to defend it against threats from funding cuts, increasingly rigorous health and safety concerns and efforts to establish virtual field trips.
- Professional careers we are educating for now, and will be educating for in 25 years (e.g. applied structural geology in geothermal energy extraction/radioactive waste management/CO2 sequestration). What key skills are needed for these jobs?

We will seek feedback from the participants and offer opportunities to get engaged in the compilation of a new on-line platform of teaching materials.
