Discover how universities around the world are integrating sustainability into education through Community Service Learning (CSL), creating meaningful, real-world impact. Gain insights from international experts and connect with peers who are passionate about making education more sustainable and socially engaged.
This special edition of the International Learning Lab is organised by VU Amsterdam in collaboration with the Aurora European university alliance. We are excited to welcome guest speakers and participants from around the globe, including France, Spain, Italy, Iceland, Canada, the US, Benin, Ghana, Tanzania, and Kenya, to exchange perspectives on embedding sustainability into CSL. Through inspiring talks and interactive discussions, we will explore practical strategies for integrating sustainability into curricula while strengthening partnerships between universities and local communities.Aurora university members are warmly invited to attend the event in Amsterdam, but online participation is also possible.
Event date: 18 June 2025 from 13:00 – 16:15 (CET)
Participants of the event are also warmly invited to join the Science with Society Festival on 19 June. The festival centres around entertainment, exchange, inspiration, and interaction. During the event, three themed dialogue sessions will be held, where students reflect on how their research in various parts of the city has contributed to these themes. Each session will be followed by an interactive dialogue with the audience.
