Raising awareness among young people, based on scientific expertise 

In the form of a free UE “Student Ambassador for Sustainable Development Goals”, this project will be carried out in addition to the volunteers’ curriculum, under the supervision of teachers. They will be able to work in small multi-disciplinary groups, on a subject chosen from existing themes, or on a theme proposed and validated by a teacher. Pedagogical resources will be made available to the students, so that they can build on a solid scientific foundation. 

The aim is to offer presentations, workshops and/or poster-making, etc., to high school, college or schoolchildren, to raise their awareness of the challenges of the SDGs – Sustainable Development Goals. 

An Open Badge Développement Durable level 3 “je transmets” and a certificate will be awarded as a diploma supplement. 

Open to all university students 

Whether you’re already aware of the issue or not, whether you know the SDGs – Sustainable Development Goals – inside out or not, all students are welcome to participate. To support them throughout the project, teaching resources will be available and teachers will be on hand to supervise volunteers. 

This experience will enable participating students to acquire skills that complement their degree, and enhance their knowledge and CVs. 

Funding 

This project has received government funding managed by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche under the “Investissements d’avenir” program, under reference ANR-18-NCUN-021. 

It is also supported by MGEN, a partner of the Université de Caen Normandie.
