that emerge during the co-creation processes achieved with EDS-IA, must be transformed into more elaborate projects and then into concrete actions. These stages of
development and implementation are not part of the process for the moment, which
does not allow to measure concrete impacts.
With regard to key competencies on sustainable development, as literature shows
for all kind of competencies in education, it is difficult to determine to what extent
the activities carried out under the EDS-IA contribute to developing these skills.
Especially since the activities organized by Institut EDS are still uncredited and are
not part of the regular study programs.
However, the collaborations with professionals and government authorities established over these two years allow us to remain optimistic about the viability and
feasibility of ideas that emerged during the process. We already know that at least
one of the projects proposed at the Bambey Summer School has received support
from the UADB Entrepreneurship Project Support Unit.
On the Quebec side, the experience drawn attention from observers from different
backgrounds. Thus, the institute is currently exploring the possibility of transferring
the approach to schools in the province. In addition, the third year of the process
(2018–2019) has now begun in collaboration with the City of Quebec and many
partners from the provincial and federal governments. It will focus on conservation
and enhancement of biodiversity as a driver for the promotion and implementation
of all SDGs in a strategic area of the city.
