What is the added value of international collaboration and joint programmes in sustainability education such as developing a joint BA in sustainability across different universities?

Session questions(s):

See the topic! 🙂

 

Session description:

We ended up discussing sustainability in general but we also tried to discuss a bit the contribution of joint international programmes and what they can bring to sustainability.

 

Session lesson(s):

We only had one person attending our session but we had such a nice conversation. I guess the main take-away from our discussion was that cultures play an important role in how sustainability and the various actions around it are experienced and discussed. When we have an international joint programme, such as the Bachelor in Sustainbility by Una Europa, we should definitely keep in mind how we can utilize these various mindsets and cultural differences.
