5.2 The Relevance of the University Content Programs
in Relation to the Municipal and Institutional
Environmental Real Needs
(a) The priorities were:
• The necessity to conduct a survey with all undergraduate courses, gather the
teaching plans, know who teaches the content of ‘Environment’ and/or ‘Sustainability’, and/or ‘Ethics’ and integrates the professors and the subjects with
VERSAS Project and the real Municipal needs.
• Organize a meeting with department heads, inserting the municipal and institutional needs in the teaching plans, where all courses will necessarily be working
with the local proposal to bring a practical global consequence.
• See the feasibility of inserting the institutional orientation of the Municipal
Environment in the class.
• Study the possibility of an eventual “technical visit” to the Municipal Recycling
Cooperative aiming to increase awareness in loco.
• Verify specific demands of undergraduate courses and align concrete institutional
and municipal proposals and involve the students facing the changes that will be
implemented.
(b) Before VERSAS:
The undergraduate courses worked with ‘Environment’ and/or ‘Sustainability’,
and/or ‘Ethics’, but not in this way. There was no alignment between courses to
exchange experiences. The changes are going to happen in 2020.
(c) Lessons learned from MMU adapted into VERSAS project:
The MMU has a cross-faculty Network with collaborative research groups.
5.3 Dissemination of Sustainable Actions to the Internal
and External Community
(a) Priorities:
Continue working with “Green Week” together with the “Social Responsible Week”,
but now aligned with VERSAS. Work on this issue of internal awareness and the
cultural change through the student’s projects involved in the causes. Students making
students aware, because they speak the same language. In addition, bring content to
be shared with the community, but linked with university priorities in Education for
Sustainable Development (ESD), and create a University Strategy SD.
