SOHACK - Social Hacking of Higher Education for Sustainability

SOHACK aims to integrate sustainability into higher education, focusing on environmental, social, and economic aspects. It offers a unique program where students tackle sustainability challenges faced by their universities, blending place-making and hackathon methods with intensive theoretical courses. The project's objectives include establishing sustainable problem-solving methods in higher education, enhancing student and teacher competencies, and creating sustainable solutions within the sector.

Work Package 2 delivers sustainability courses for students and teachers. Students' courses blend competency training with hackathons, fostering sustainability skills irrespective of academic background. Teacher courses, offered online, focus on sustainability teaching methods and hackathon leadership.

WP3 includes a digital learning channel for sharing knowledge and resources. This online learning environment is user-friendly and focuses on problem-based learning approaches.

Piloted SOHACK courses result in trained students and teachers in sustainability, several hackathons, and the creation and promotion of at least six sustainability solutions, documented in an e-booklet.
