International Virtual Societal Challenge

The Intercultural Virtual Societal Challenge e-course (IVSC) seeks to empower students to address real world societal challenges through challenge-based learning and intercultural and digital upskilling. The IVSC e-course involves students in challenge-based learning in relation to one thematic area: environment, gender, race or inclusion. For each thematic strand, students identify a specific related challenge that requires investigation and problem-solving, and it is on the basis of how they approach this challenge, and the learning and outcomes achieved, that the course is assessed.

You will work in a group with fellow students from EUF and our partner universities while developing a project that your group defined within the thematic focus “environment”. The scope of environmental issues is broad and encompasses a multitude of interconnected concerns, ranging from climate change and biodiversity loss to pollution, deforestation, and resource depletion.

  • The aim of the TRIP Intercultural Virtual Societal Challenge (VSC) E-Course is to create opportunities for students at all levels to critically explore key societal challenges and to empower them to contribute to positive change by involving them in challenged-based learning with peers from different cultural backgrounds and digital upskilling.
  • Throughout the e-course, students are also encouraged to actively investigate these challenges from cross-cultural perspectives drawing on a wide and diverse range of sources and data, and to engage in independent research that involves dialogue with relevant community-based organisations.

 

Format and workload:

  • Virtual classes: 3 sessions of 2 hours each, 1 block session (Friday afternoon, all day Saturday)
