The UnaVEx project in short:
Strategies for minimizing climate change and to develop sustainable futures need interdisciplinary and multicultural discussions. UnaEuropa – Virtual Exchanges for Sustainability (UnaVEx) is a 3-year projects coordinated by INAR in 2024-2027. The aim of the project is to create virtual space for sharing experiences and multicultural and interdisciplinary discussions on sustainability. The UnaVEx students come from the European universities and African universities in South Africa, Kenya and Kongo. The project will organize five interactive workshops called “virtual exchange weeks”, where multidisciplinary students will be engaged in climate competences and sustainability, as well as in interdisciplinary teamwork and soft and green skills. The projects’ main activity is to provide the student with sciences-based knowledge related to Climate and Sustainability topics, and with tools to help them in understanding climate change problematic and to open moderated discussions in small and international groups. UnaVEx is build on the UnaEuropa collaboration on on-line education. During virtual exchange week 500 students from the university partners will participate in moderated discussions in small groups (10 students per moderator). Moderators will be educated in technical and soft skills to guarantee a respectful and integrative discussions in their team.
