The goal of the conference is to share experiences and good practices in designing and implementing Sustainable Curriculum. Teachers, researchers, and students from four higher education partner institutions – UCL University College in Denmark, University of Agder in Norway, University of Ljubljana in Slovenia, and Masaryk University in the Czech Republic – joined in the mutual interest and concerns:

• to design a curriculum that would promote sustainable development, healthy lifestyle, responsible consumer behaviour, and social equity
• to empower students of bachelor’s degrees to seek information and extend their knowledge about issues pertaining to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs)
• to empower students, through project-based learning, to engage and assume active roles, both locally and globally, to provide suggestions for solutions of global challenges and to contribute to sustainable world
• to involve students in collaborative online international learning (COIL) so that they can actively learn from peers and teachers across countries, engage with different perspectives, and appreciate cultural diversity
• to help students develop ‘21st century skills’, that is critical thinking, greater awareness of the existence of other perspectives, digital literacies, the ability to communicate effectively (online) with people from other cultures, the ability to collaborate in international teams
