Are you a university student, teacher or staff? Are you looking for ways to make your higher education institution more sustainable? BRIGHTS final conference “Bringing Higher Education Towards Sustainability” represents the perfect opportunity to find out about the resources and tools that the partners of the project BRIGHTS have published to boost the development of green skills and practices in universities.
The event will take place on 11 October from 9:30 to 13:00 at the Info Hub of the European Parliament. It will be possible to participate either in-person or online. You can register in the link below.
The BRIGHTS project, co-financed by the Erasmus+ Programme (2021-1-IT02-KA220-HED-000030264), aims to valorize the central role of higher education institutions in tackling the 2030 Agenda, the Green Deal objectives, and overall environmental priorities. The implementing partners are three European universities, the University of Pavia, Cologne and Cyprus, along with two organisations, garagErasmus and Reiss Romoli.
Through research, a workshop and a staff week, the partners have developed the following open-source results: an online course for students on the 2030 Agenda, guidelines on innovative teaching methodologies on sustainability and a handbook collecting and disseminating good practices related to the setting up of a Sustainability Centre (SC) in HEIs.
The final conference will see the presentation and interactive discussion on these three resources, as well as an intervention on the Green Deal, its next developments and BRIGHTS’s role in pursuing its objectives, as well as the recognition of green skills through microcredentials.
