Berlin city is aiming to reach climate neutrality by 2040. In this field, universities are playing a huge role in reducing emissions with their encouraging work and studies. By thinking greener, acting more progressively, and being more connected to nature in the process, we can create a better, cleaner, and more sustainable future. Sustain.ALL project lab is a way to shape the future with Sustainable Development Goals. Our research question is how can we bring sustainable projects into a digital world to achieve the maximum social, ecological and economic impact?
The module gives an overview of Sustainable Development Goals, related to ending extreme poverty, inequality, injustice, and protecting the planet through sustainable impact. By working on various local service-learning projects, which serve the chosen SDGs, the students will learn how to make a local contribution to global targets. Before working on the projects, students will learn how to independently manage a project, how to do scientific research and present input about the topics they have chosen, and how to moderate a virtual/ presence group work. During the project phase, students will independently implement their projects together with their team members and project partners of Sustain.ALL.Partner workshops /projects allow them to expand their knowledge.
The course content is divided into 2 parts:
1) Theory
2) Workshop/Project
For the theoretical part , SDGs will be held in 3 different thematic clusters : Environmental ,Social and Economical. Students will also have an overview of local actions/projects serving the realization of the chosen SDGs or they will be motivated to create their projects. In the second section, the students will work on the projects that they have chosen in light of the input that they have been educated with in the first section. While students are working on their projects, seminars and excursions will be organized given by the experts in the related fields.
