Summary

This Italian academic resource hub provides teaching materials, case studies, and interactive tools on sustainability topics – ranging from circular economy and energy systems to social innovation and environmental management. The content supports both teaching and research in interdisciplinary sustainability education.

Relevant SDGs

How to use

Use modules as supplementary readings or case study starters. Translate and adapt content to local contexts. Assign small teams to develop presentations or projects based on selected materials. Facilitate workshops applying tools to real-world problems. Encourage students to reflect on cross-cultural approaches and compile comparative sustainability analyses.

Teaching format tip

Lesson/Teaching Plans

Engage students as co-facilitators and content contributors rather than passive recipients. Students should prepare discussion questions and share relevant experiences that enrich planned activities. Build flexibility for organic learning moments that emerge from student interests. Use plans as frameworks for shared inquiry rather than rigid scripts.
