| Description | In this session, we will share the story of our course I-week on Sustainability and how we transformed it into an international hybrid conference with students and speakers from 5 different continents. We will go into the goals we try to achieve with the course; to teach about sustainability, to develop our students intercultural skills and to also trigger personal development around sustainability. In the second part of the session we will go into the challenges we face, ask for feedback and suggestions on our setup, look for dimensions that are missing, and discuss possible extension of this course with additional partners. |
