Project Summary
The VAMOS project brings together universities from Europe, Brazil and Honduras to facilitate an exchange of good practice in the field of Education for Sustainable Development. The overall objective is to strengthen university education for addressing SDG challenges in society through virtual exchange and joint international learning and teaching. The project will focus on 3 main aspects (development work packages): In a first step, we will bring together ESD teachers from all partners to discuss and evaluate methods of ESD and transformative education. In a second step, will organize training for virtual teaching and virtual exchange. In a third step, we will co-create and test a Virtual Exchange course on Wicked Problems with students and teachers from all partner universities. In addition, the project will organize two ESD Dialogue Forums in Brazil and Honduras to connect the project with stakeholders outside the partner universities in LATAM. In a broader sense, the project aims to develop solutions for a more sustainable form of internationalisation.
