Description

The main objective of JOIN-RISe is to make higher education STEM students develop into citizens that are critical thinkers and are fully committed to the SDGs. In order to achieve this, it is crucial for there to be changes to current curricula and for the SDGs to be included in the teaching of STEM degrees. Evidently, lecturers are key players in meeting the project’s main objective. Therefore the aim is to make STEM lecturers more aware of global challenges and the need to integrate values and ethics into their teaching to help students develop a sustainable mindset and to use science to do good in society. The SGDs will be implemented by means of courses, optional subjects, adapting current subject contents by using tools, resources and blended learning methods specifically designed for university degrees. JOIN-RISe will provide a database of Service-Learning projects and Bachelor’s and Master’s final dissertations related to SDGS in STEM which will help students to put their knowledge and social commitment into practice. JOIN-RISe also aims to improve the quality and integration of critical citizenship education at University level. This project will also encourage lifelong learning through a short course (30 hours) aimed at adult learners. At the end of the project, all these resources will be available for all European HE institutions that are willing to tackle this common challenge. The implementation of this project will improve the quality of STEM higher education by including the common values of the SDGs enriching the knowledge that students need for their future. The resources will be accessed from a VLP to make them more digital, inclusive and innovative.
