SOHACK: Social Hacking of Higher Education for Sustainability

About the project

SOHACK brings students an opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary team solving their campus (everydayness) problems. It is seminal to teach students during their studies to work in those interdisciplinary teams and actually experience the impact of their solutions. The training is based on sustainability competencies (R.Lozano et al.) and social hackaton methodology. While teachers will enhance their knowledge sustainability teaching methods.
This international project strives to create innovative hands on trainings for sustainability in Higher Education Institutions. One of the key innovations is merging hackaton and placemaking methodologies that shall bring context-based integral solutions in a rapid manner. Additionally, we will enhance sustainability competencies and sustainability teaching methods by creating different trainings for students and teachers.
