COMPETENCE FOR SUSTAINABILITY

The acquisition of sustainability skills (cds) is based on voluntary activities, aimed at all Ca' Foscari students of any level and involves the provision of 1 extra-curricular credit.

The course can be therefore freely chosen by students, since it concerns transversal knowledge with respect to the curriculum, the activities can be carried out by students of each year of the degree course. It allows the student to deepen the 17 Goals for Sustainable Development - Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs of the 2030 Agenda.

Due to the persistency of the current health emergency it is not possible to establish now the precise teaching method adopted for this course. We can expect that the activities will be delivered in distance. The description provided here below applies to both cases, in presence or in distance.
