▶Objectives
The objective of ChallengED is to develop, promote and implement a Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) entrepreneurship course, where challenges are set by local actors in society aiming for sustainable improvements; and to develop a methodology for measuring the impact created by Challenge-Based Learning. The course will develop students' entrepreneurial skills, and social and civic engagement whilst developing their competences in various sustainability relevant sectors.
▶Activities
Five universities from five different European countries are involved. Activities include - Interviews with stakeholders including local organizations such as municipalities, to find hurdles and solutions, and list suitable challenges on sustainable development. - Development of a Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) course including open source training material. - Development of impact evaluation of CBL on all selected priorities (entrepreneurial skills, civic engagement and green skills).
▶Impact
1/ A study on the needs and hurdles, and proposals to overcome these hurdles, in Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) projects with local organizations, with a list of suitable environmental challenges. 2/ A CLB course with quality open source teaching material, in a reproducible format (geographical and temporal dimension), targeting skills development and employability. 3/ A methodology on how to measure the impact of CBL at different levels; society, institution, teachers and students.
