DESCRIPTION:Bajo el proyecto TEC GLOBAL SHARE LEARNING CLASSROOM y la metodología COIL\, dos universidades ITESM (México) y URV (España) se unen con alumnos en dos materias integrados en equipos internacionales\, que bajo uno de los 17 ODS de la Agenda 2030 cada equipo investiga\, mapea y propone soluciones viables\, a corto plazo para coadyuvar en algunas de las metas del ODS otorgado y que tenga impacto real  (social/ambiental) con acciones concretas en su territorio (México y España) \nHemos trabajado las dos docentes desde 2020 cada semestre con diferentes grupos de alumnos de manera consecutiva este 2023. Participan estudiantes de 2º curso de los Grados de Pedagogia y Educación Social de la Universidad Rovira i Virgili; y estudiantes de diversas disciplinas (negocios\, derecho\, ingenierías\, administración\, comunicación\, arquitectura\, etc.) del Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey. \nSe organizan tres fases concretas: Icebraker\, a través del cual hay actividades de presentación y organización de los equipos a través de la plataforma Zoom y la herramienta Padlet; en una segunda fase se desarrolla la Actividad Colaborativa (de investigación y mapeo) con la que analizan la problemática en ambos países y crean y llevan a la práctica los  proyectos con impacto social/ambiental apegado a las metas de los 17 ODS de la Agenda 2030;  se finaliza con una reflexión final sobre sus aprendizajes\, avances en el desarrollo de las competencias de comunicación intercultural\, nuevas tecnologías\, ética\, etc. a través de esta última etapa presentan sus proyectos y el impacto de los mismos en un pitch en vídeo sintetizando un ensayo que han construido a lo largo. \nTodo este proceso lleva acompañamiento personalizado de las dos docentes\,  quienes desde sus universidades van coordinando a los equipos. Las actividades tiene listas de cotejo que guían a los estudiantes a legar a las metas establecidas. Todo el proceso se va evaluando e impacta en la calificación de las materias de ambas universidades. \nLas herramientas digitales que se utilizan en las tres etapas son: Zoom\, Padlet\, Slack\, Google Drive-Site\, WhatsApp\, entre otras. \nSiempre con el objetivo de mejorar las perspectivas y miradas globales de nuestros estudiantes y así lleguen a ser personas más vinculadas a la sociedad y aprendan a descubrir que ellos y ellas también pueden dar respuesta a las necesidades de su entorno\, con acciones pequeñas y viables\, ejerciendo así una ciudadanía activa y global. \nProfesoras: \n-Dra.

There are many ways to overcome these barriers at Universities. This event is meant to discuss two methods that Universidad Politécnica de Madrid has pursued solely and jointly with other European Universities. Both are bottom-up but are guided and stimulated from the top. The event is intended to describe these initiatives and show the results. \nPresenters: \nAlberto Garrido\, Vice-Rector UPM\, Coordinator of EELISA\nIgnacio González Tejada\, Associate Vice-Rector UPM\nMaría Luisa Martínez Muneta\, Associate Vice-Rector UPM \nOrganizer: Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and European Alliance EELISA \nTo register: https://upm.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEsdumtrT4jHta4qL95GH1zGu-0xGqFNMCK URL:https://universityglobalcoalition.org/event/how-to-integrate-the-sdgs-in-academic-programs-lessons-from-a-3-year-bottom-up-approach-at-universidad-politecnica-de-madrid-and-european-alliance-eelisa/ LOCATION:Virtual\, GA ORGANIZER;CN="Alberto Garrido":MAILTO:alberto.garrido@upm.es END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230308T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230308T140000 DTSTAMP:20260404T061402 CREATED:20230224T201201Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230224T201201Z UID:1835-1678280400-1678284000@universityglobalcoalition.org SUMMARY:Advancing careers & the SDGs: how a co-curricular program prepares students to make a difference in their professional paths DESCRIPTION:While many agree that the SDGs should play a critical role in our students’ education\, helping students to connect their passions and career goals to be aligned with these global goals promises to both benefit them and our society in general. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s SDG Scholar Program (housed within their College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources)\, seeks to both spark curiosity about the goals and help students chart their professional paths to be aligned with them. With one aim of the program being to students’ professional networks\, we work to illuminate lesser-known and innovative careers\, normalize non-linear professional paths\, develop critical thinking and cultural competency\, and bring students together to problem-solve with peers with different life experiences than themselves. \nLearn more about the program (and potentially join us as an SDG expert\, if you’re interested!) by attending this session about creatively re-combining resources and connections to benefit students\, our countries\, and the world. \nPresenter: Brianne Wolf\, coordinator of global learning and engagement strategies\, College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources\, University of Nebraska-Lincoln \nRegister: https://unl.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUuf-ihrjkvHtCaGd6tALbcYl7WxCtWO-x3 URL:https://universityglobalcoalition.org/event/advancing-careers-the-sdgs-how-a-co-curricular-program-prepares-students-to-make-a-difference-in-their-professional-paths/ LOCATION:Virtual\, GA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/U.-Nebraska-SDG-Scholars-Program.png ORGANIZER;CN="Brianne Wolf":MAILTO:bwolf4@unl.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230308T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230308T200000 DTSTAMP:20260404T061402 CREATED:20230228T201519Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230228T201541Z UID:1856-1678267800-1678305600@universityglobalcoalition.org SUMMARY:Conferencia ODS en el Tec: “Los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible a la mitad del camino” DESCRIPTION:Tec de Monterrey\, through the SDGs Initiative\, will host the Conference “The SDGs at the crossroads”\, where participants will discuss the progress and remaining challenges to achieve the SDGs by 2030.

It involves a range of cognitive and emotional skills. \nThe 5 Categories with the 23 skills and qualities:\n– Being – Relationship to Self\n– Thinking: Cognitive skills\n– Relating: Caring for others\n– Collaborating: Social Skills\n– Acting: Driving Change \nWatch this video (https://vimeo.com/643897255) to learn more about the IDG and the scientific advisors which are involved\, such as:\nAmy C.

Post-secondary institutions play an important role in building capacity among learners to address this work. \nWith a desire to create learning experiences that are meaningful\, creative and transformative\, educators have to reflect on how traditional teaching methods can be improved through innovation in the classroom.\nThis panel will explore innovation in the context of teaching the SDGs\, approaches to teaching using innovative strategies to help improve learning outcomes in universities and colleges across Canada. \nHosted by SDSN Canada and the Sustainability Hub at University of British Columbia \nModerator: Ramota Morenike Ojurongbe\, program coordinator SDSN Canada \nPanelists: \n1.

Target 3.1: By 2030\, reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100\,000 live births\, is a matter that concerns professionals from different backgrounds and also families that surround women when they are pregnant and after birth. Journalists\, health providers\, doctors\, nurses\, public policy designers\, politicians\, are just a short list of who should be involved in this matter. \nThis discussion-based event\, hosted by the International Observatory in Public Health will present the connection of Maternal Mortality to the SDGs and the importance of meeting the targets. As our aim is to make this event as interactive as possible\, it will begin with a quiz about Maternal Mortality basic concepts. Afterwards\, we will present a brief conference which will include the key points regarding Maternal Mortality and how to build and interpret the specific indicator (Maternal Mortality Rate); these previous two points are meant to create a consensus on knowledge. Afterwards\, the panelists interventions will start\, they will each have the floor to share their perspectives and evaluation of the maternal mortality situation in their countries\, we will have panelists from Colombia\, Perú\, México and the USA. As the individual conferences end\, the panelists will jointly outline take-home messages and put forward new ideas to face Maternal Mortality. Finally\, the event will conclude with time for debating the ideas\, questions and perspectives typed by the audience in the comment box during the conference.\nProfessionals from different disciplines are welcome to participate. \nPresenters: \nMaria Luisa Latorre.
