Resumen


Abstract

UNESCO highlights the crucial role of higher education in achieving each of the 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). Thus, students should acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development. In this context, the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) has developed the Campus Bizia Lab programme as an initiative derived from the Project Erasmus University Educators for Sustainable Development. The aim of the initiative has been to promote a collaborative process between academic staff, service and administrative staff and students, creating a transdisciplinary community to respond to sustainability challenges within the university. In the framework of the programme, pedagogical approaches for sustainable development have been developed for the Grades of Technical Architecture and Civil Engineering at the University of the Basque Country, UPV/EHU. The paper presents the methodologies developed and analyses the effect on learning process
