The programme aims to raise awareness and activate concern about the environment and climate change among young people in the EU. The project's main objective is to increase knowledge about sustainable development in the water, wastewater and energy sectors. Participating students will present their concept related to (storm) water management, based on information from the course. This aims to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in support of the EU strategy to combat climate change.
BIP combines both online and face-to-face learning experiences, allowing for highly collaborative and project-based teaching and learning methods between students and professors. The online phase occurs before students arrive at OUTech. During this phase, three meetings per week are planned, divided into modules covering topics such as the negative impact of climate change on water availability, an introduction to the Sustainable Development Goals, the EU strategy for developing green infrastructure, and sustainable management practices. Additionally, students will be able to interact with invited speakers from selected industries via the OUTech online platform.
