SDG Projects in a Blended Mobility format

The project aims to build up a portfolio of nine international SDG projects in blended mobility format, combining virtual project work with short-term physical stays abroad. In transnational projects with foreign partner universities from France, Luxembourg, Greece, Croatia, Portugal, Great Britain, Israel, Jordan and Rwanda, students work in internationally composed teams on a real sustainability challenge of a practical partner. The topics range from strengthening sustainability in the tourism and fashion industry to sustainability solutions in the healthcare and water sectors to promoting social entrepreneurship and sustainable construction methods in developing countries. In this way, the students not only strengthen their professional competences with regard to sustainability, but also acquire important 21st century skills for the internationally shaped labour market.
