The EU-funded Project BRIGTHS -Bringing Higher Education Institutes Towards Sustainability (brights.unipv.it/) is conceived to fit in today’s need for urgent engagement of universities on climate change. The project tackles this need at all levels of the academic community: from raising climate awareness among students through SDGs transdisciplinary courses, to innovating the professors’ teaching methodologies in delivering sustainability education, to strengthening the role of Green Offices.
In this workshop, the project coordinator (Martina Altea Bellinzona - University of Pavia, Italy) will present the project; afterwards, the workshop will host a digital roundtable discussion both with invited sustainability officers:
The former will provide useful insights on how to efficiently manage a Green Office, and examples of best practices it could be collector of.
The latter will be involved through the use of Mentimeter: lacks & strengths, obstacles & resources, what are your Green Offices focusing on and how could we support each other in overcoming the common difficulties? Let’s share our experience!
The roundtable will gather insights and generate a discussion on how to strengthen and exploit the potential of Green Offices: this event should be of interest to both academic and administrative staff involved or interested in the role that Green Office can play, as well as to students interested in collaborating with the Offices, e.g. via Green students’ associations.
