The Partners have an ambitious goal to enhance the contribution of higher education to the Sustainable Development Goals by cultivating social responsibility and fostering active attitudes.
The initiative brings together institutions with diverse profiles from 4 countries – Lodz University of Technology (coordinator) and Team Coaching Rafał Nykiel from Poland, Accreditation Council for Entrepreneurial and Engaged Universities from Germany, Riga Technical University from Latvia and partners from Spain - Welfare and Development Association and Autonomous University of Barcelona – TUL’s partner from ECIU.
The meeting in Lodz was attended by 12 representatives of this illustrious group. The team expressed enthusiasm and determination to work together, and the occasion laid the groundwork for their future efforts. Together, they were able to go over important project elements, assign roles, and create an action plan for the upcoming months. A key highlight was the “Working with emotions” workshop which sought to foster empathy for the SDGs.
Being sensitive to the needs of others allows us to understand how our everyday decisions and behaviours affect the environment and society. Awareness of this impact can lead to more sustainable choices and actions." - emphasises dr inż. Dorota Piotrowska, university professor and the project coordinator - "Students who understand the needs of others and care about the well-being of the environment can act as leaders promoting sustainable practices in their communities. Together, we want to shape future agents of change, i.e. people who are aware, committed and inspire others to actively work towards the SDGs.
The #edu4sdgs project is implemented under Erasmus+ Action 2 Cooperation Partnerships. The project budget is 400,000 EUR.
