Services for Higher Education Faculty

Universities and colleges are ideal places for learning about citizenship. As an inter-university NGO, Ucoopia supports teachers in integrating social, environmental, political, and cultural issues into their courses through innovative teaching approaches.

Our goal: to educate conscious, critical, and committed citizens and future professionals who are capable of integrating these issues into their professional lives and society, whether they become scientists, doctors, architects, engineers, or any other profession.

To design and implement our interventions, we draw on our own expertise as well as that of the Uni4Coop consortium, whether technical, methodological, educational, or organizational. Some of these areas form the pillars of our work: agroecology, knowledge management, multi-stakeholder coordination, project methodology, etc.
