makingAchange Project
Educational and research institutions can provide necessary stimuli for societal changes. To provide students and graduates with the necessary competences to overcome the Global Grand Challenges, a paradigm shift is needed to enable new methods and ways of thinking, as well as engagement and attitudes towards sustainable development. In order to tackle these challenges and achieve the above mentioned goals, the research project makingAchange has set up a variety of actions and possibilities for educational institutions and their students to foster sustainable development.
IIASA's Equity and Justice (EQU) Research Group is responsible for the Peer-to-Peer training of students in the makingAchange project. School and university students can participate in a peer-to-peer training, in which they acquire technical knowledge and methodological insights to be able to engage in daily climate-change debates and discussions.
A team from the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) accompanied the school students training for two days and featured the report as part of the ORF THEMA broadcasting on Monday, 20 September 2021. The report is available on ORF TVThek for one week.
