Sustainability holds us up, uphold sustainability
The joint project challenged students to think about the effects of our own consumer habits and introduces the UN sustainable development goals.
The National Union of University Students in Finland carried out the project in cooperation with eight student unions.
The joint project challenged students to think about the effects of our own consumer habits and introduced the UN sustainable development goals. In particular, the project introduced students to Goal 12, which focused on sustainable consumption and production patterns and how to consume in a responsible manner.
As part of the project, all participating student unions organised events and trainings related to responsible consumption, dealing with, for instance, responsibility in the clothing and electronics industries in 2021 and 2022. The events were organised together with Fairtrade and Pro Ethical Trade Finland.
The Ministry for Foreign Affairs has granted the project support for communications and global education projects.
