School District: the sub-project is developed in partnership with the UPF’s Faculty
of Engineering and Architecture and works with two partner schools. It aims to
promote the practice of walking in the city and motivate sustainable mobility.
Smart Cities: the sub-project works in partnership with the Master Program in
Applied Computing, from the Institute of Exact Sciences and Geosciences of UPF.
The sub-project intends to promote better spaces in the cities by using smart resources
and services.
Circulating Citizenship: the sub-project is linked to the Faculty of Education of
UPF, and works with schools focusing on mobility and sustainable cities. Also, it
promotes activities such as courses for traffic instructors, in partnership with Detran
(Rio Grande do Sul Traffic Department).
The common link that connects the three small projects is the city and, as an
interdisciplinary topic, the projects that provide a rich and differentiated experience
to all involved.
Currently, the project promotes the integration between 5 different undergraduate
courses, involves 9 members (4 students and 5 teachers) and works with 4 cities in the
north of the state of Rio Grande do Sul—Brazil. Table 1 presents that information.
3.2 Identification and Characterization of the Projects’
Actions
In total, 29 actions promoted by the project with contribution to some UN SDGs were
identified. These actions were divided into 4 categories according to their common
characteristics: (1) Promotion of activities; (2) Participation in events; (3) Guidance
for city’s certification and (4) Promotion of courses.
Activities classified as Promotion of activities involved the organization of events
about Smart and Learning Cities, as support for the World Car Free Day promoted
in Passo Fundo, traffic education and accident prevention activities at schools, inclusive mobility activities, socio-environmental education workshops and activities to
enhancing reading in schools.
The activities classified as Participation in events are described as moments in
which teachers members of the project were invited to speak at events or meetings
and expose the project’s experiences.
