Welcome to the Second Edition of the SustainEd Project Newsletter!
At SustainEd, we are committed to revolutionising sustainability education within higher education institutions. Our mission is to equip university students with the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to actively participate in the green transition and contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We aim to revolutionise higher education by developing an innovative learning program that integrates living labs and WebQuests. This will enhance students’ understanding of sustainability and circular economy concepts, develop essential green skills, and prepare them for active participation in the green transition.
