European Universities as Community Leaders of the Education for Sustainable Development (ESDEUS)
Short description
Under EUGreenComp (2022), all educational settings provided by the university develop awareness and civic competencies to take action to transform society into a more sustainable one. ESDEUS aims to build university capacity as a leader in Education for Sustainable Development by identifying its resources. It focuses on ESD-relevant teaching and collaboration with stakeholders.
Activities
The main activities are the evaluation of the curricula' relevance to ESD priorities and objectives, designing a curricula development plan, identifying university and stakeholders collaboration forms in the ESD field, and describing ESD best practices in different EU regions. The consortium implements these activities by organising cross-sectoral learning/teaching events and using various methods based on place, problem, peer learning, good practices exchange, and mapping ESD university engagement.
Outputs planned are a Catalogue and Toolbox of HE ESD, a Report of HE stakeholders' perspective on ESD, an ESD Collaborative Actions Booklet, and reports on ESD digital course design and pilot implementation. The project directly impacts building links and enhancing HE's relationships with all community stakeholders. Long-term benefits relate to the sustainable society's value and LLL university promotion. ESDEUS follows green and digital principles in all its activities and outputs.
