Completed projects
Climate action: active students for the protection of Venice
Progetto saVE
The project consists in the implementation and dissemination of an educational toolkit, developed within the European university consortium Arqus and with the contribution of the University of Padua during the course "Rethinking climate change: the Venice Paradigm ".
The toolkit refers to the problem of sea level rise in the Venetian context. During the process of designing the educational toolkit, we conducted research in the field of environmental education that revealed the absence of programs that propose a creative and practical approach to the preservation of Venice. Our project aims to fill this educational void through conversations with and between students.
Youth Action festival
Through panel discussions, participants can contemplate the importance of providing safe spaces for marginalized communities to share their lived experiences. Their experiences will complement academic research supporting the benefits of a more diverse, inclusive and equitable society.
Human Rights
We discuss the effects of environmental inequalities between neighbourhoods in Padova; and are joined by the 2021 Enactus Italy National Competition winners, Enactus UniUd, to share how their youth-led team developed a CO2 emission reduction project.
Environment
Engineering
Low female representation in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) careers requires greater advocacy and intervention to encourage for inclusive innovative processes. Participants will hear from international experts in industrial engineering and ethical finance.
