This will support our Participating Universities in Belarus and Ukraine to establish contact and cooperation with the Swedish universities, and strengthen Swedish universities' knowledge of, and interest in academia in these countries.
EduBUP
The aim of this project is to re-think the pedagogy used when implementing education for sustainable development. The SWEDESD Change project Approach is used for the EduBUP project. Participants formed groups who created project plans and ideas on what they would like to change at their respective universities. In a later phase of the project this is followed up on, and launched.
EduBalt
The project aim is to illustrate pedagogical principles and processes that need to be integrated in teaching and learning. Participating teachers will be able to include sustainable development in their education according to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) principles.
