Agenda 2030 is about the so called 5 Ps: Planet, People, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership, but is our university experience preparing us for taking care of the planet and the people?
A group of Sociology students have been asking ourselves and other students about this issue, and we want to expand this conversation. Therefore, this is nor a talk, either a round table; this is a student workshop targeting other students. We want to listen to you: how should a caring university be from your own perspective?
