Cooperating Organization

University of Ljubljana
UCL University College

The SustainComp project is a collaboration among 4 partner Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) pertaining to topics based on waste and energy use reduction, sustainable food and mobility choices, carbon footprint (emissions) reduction, development of sustainable competences, and behavioural changes in consumption habits and healthy lifestyles. The aim of the cooperation between partners in the project is to raise students’ awareness of the global challenges - poverty, spread of infectious diseases, famine, wellbeing, and environmental un-sustainability.

The project will implement innovative, holistic learning and teaching practices to develop students’ knowledge, skills and attitudes to actively participate in creating a better future for others as well as themselves (Leask, 2015). The project learning outcomes will develop students’ transversal skills and sustainable competencies, relevant for both local and global labour markets while empowering them with global thinking and capacity to be able to address and offer solutions to environmental and social problems anywhere in the world. The transnational, intercultural, and interdisciplinary learning in the project will take place in an inclusive online environment of Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL).
