In this compilation, we highlight a number of innovative initiatives that exemplify the GSD Project’s commitment to promoting sustainability across sectors. Join us as we explore these impactful programmes, each contributing to a more sustainable and equitable future.

Smart Environment

Smart Environment

The Module “Efficiency, productivity, and wellbeing through conscious environmental choices” has been conceived and developed in the framework of the ESG SMART ACADEMY, a complete, modular, flexible and customisable online training programme offered by Smart Revolution on the ESG parameters. The acronym ESG refers to the areas of Environment, Social and Governance, three fundamental dimensions for verifying, measuring, controlling and supporting a company’s or organisation’s commitment to sustainability.

Fresh News Cafe

Fresh News Cafe

The Fresh News Cafe is a virtual inclusive learning space developed by English teachers of English Course Department at Folkuniversitetet Uppsala through Design-Based Thinking in the GSD project. It serves disadvantaged learners, particularly students with migrant backgrounds, and their parents. The project combines English language learning, social sustainability and media literacy in an intergenerational setting, promoting critical thinking and communication through the analysis of current news on Padlet.

SDG Explorer Programme

SDG Explorer Programme

The SDG Explorer programme was developed to create a learning format that increases awareness of sustainability on both a personal and professional level and can also serve as a starting point for developing one’s own ideas in the field of sustainability (SDGs). For this reason, a three-day course format was introduced to create a blended learning environment consisting of both theoretical and practical content.

GroUp

GroUp

Our project, titled “GroUp – Design Thinking Innovation Challenge” (‘Gro’ for Groningen University and ‘Up’ for Uppsala University) unites students from Uppsala University in Sweden and the University of Groningen in the Netherlands in a collaborative innovation challenge.

The endeavor was selected for its contemporary relevance— working with the mental health of university students, working with the career paths of university students and building trust in science. We choose topics where a diverse group of students can collaborate together and create conceptual solutions within this short time phrame.

#LearnersAsLeaders

Learners as Leaders

AONTAS, in partnership with Development Perspectives, delivered an advocacy programme for learners on Development Education with a focus on Sustainable Development Goals.

Participants examined and advocated for the needs of adult learners in the field of development education and created content for a #LearnersAsLeaders campaign. They were also critically reflected on their learning journey.
