Towards a sustainable society with European University for Transition open courses

European University For Transition (EU4TRANSITION)

24 October 2023


What could a university of the future look like, with a focus on the transition to a sustainable society? That is what the University of Humanistic Studies investigated with European partner universities in the research project European University For Transition (EU4TRANSITION). The project, funded through the EU's Erasmus+ programme, has been successfully completed. Course materials are now available.

Results

The project developed a holistic and humanistic curriculum for transition universities in Europe. The developed modules are now also available as extra-academic training courses, for volunteers, professionals, managers and policymakers. It produced the following results - you can find these results on the project website:

    • a master course of 19 lectures on ecohumanism and sustainability;
    • a pedagogical guide to educational activities that can be used in teaching;
    • a massive open online course (MOOC) with videos explaining the lessons for a wide audience. 

    Collaboration

    The University of Humanistic Studies was one of the main partners, with researchers Fernando Suárez Müller and  Caroline Suransky. Emeritus Professor Henk Manschot was also involved. In this project, UvH cooperated with universities from France, Spain, Turkey and Estonia and with several transition schools and eco-villages. Several summer courses were organised in these eco-villages in which UvH students participated.
