The project NEMOS – A new educational model for acquisition of sustainability competences through service-learning organises a free seminar focusing on:
UNIVERSITY, SUSTAINABILITY AND SERVICE-LEARNING
6 June 2023
09:30h-13:30h CEST
Nicolás García de los Salmones hall, Los Olivos building, 1st Floor
Public University of Navarre (UPNA), Campus Arrosadía
Pamplona (Spain)
Description:
The seminar will focus on practical cases for the implementation of food sustainability through service learning and defining a methodological handbook in food sustainability through service learning as a common framework of activities for acquisition of sustainability competences for service learning. The five universities of this project (Public University of Navarre in Spain, University of Pisa in Italy, TU Graz in Austria, TU Dublin in Ireland and ISARA-Lyon in France) are designing a new educational model based on how to effectively acquire sustainability competences through service learning. Each of the five universities has designed its own roadmap and is currently implementing a model of activities for the acquisition of sustainability competences through service learning in different subjects within their food degrees. The learnings from this process are informing and being embedded within the NEMOS “Methodological handbook in food sustainability through service learning”, which will serve to train both teachers and students in sustainability through service learning at any educational level.
About the NEMOS project
The NEMOS project acknowledges sustainability as an increasingly crucial skill for graduate and post-graduate students to tackle important global challenges such as climate change, food waste and the loss of biodiversity in their professional future. Therefore, the project aims to define a new educational model to integrate sustainability competences in the curricula of food-related degrees by means of service learning.
Co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, the NEMOS project is led by the Public University of Navarra and includes the following consortium partners: Technological University Dublin (Ireland); Technological University Graz (Austria); Rhône-Alpes Higher Institute of Agriculture (France); University of Pisa (Italy); and IGCAT.
