Company Description

The mission of MOVE is to raise awareness among students about their neighbourhood and their future. By expanding the current lesson program, older children can also start reflecting on these topics. The new modules will include themes related to the ecological value of neighbourhoods and the importance of nature. As a result, students become more aware of their role within their communities and the environment, and they gain insight into how they can contribute to the world. In addition, they learn how to engage with residents and initiate conversations, which helps to improve their social skills. This project contributes to four Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 4: Quality Education for All SDG 11: Sustainable and Liveable Cities SDG 13: Climate Action SDG 17: Global Partnerships for the Goals.

Product Description 

Green Your World is an innovative lesson program which is designed for upper secondary students of all levels. The lesson program focuses on raising awareness about social and ecological issues in different neighbourhoods. During the program students develop a sense of social responsibility, improve their social skills, and learn to think critically about the environment. They practice communicating with local residents and analysing a specific theme in the neighbourhood.

About us

Our team consists of six students, we are all following the course in Management of the Living Environment. This multidisciplinary study focuses on the sustainable and social design of our living environment and connects themes such as ecology, participation, sustainability, policy and project management.

Thanks to this background, the team has:

• Understanding of social and ecological issues at play in society.
• Skills in participatory working, co-creation with target groups and balancing interests in a complex environment.
• Experience in project-based working, policy making and stakeholder analysis, essential for designing and implementing educational and social programs.

These knowledge and skills make the team well suited to develop, implement and grow a program such as ‘'Green your world.’'
