Bachelor degree or equivalent.

This course will offer students hands-on experience with a sustainability project in connection with the university’s Green Student-House (also called Lindberg’s House). The aim of the course is to give students experience with planning and carrying out a self-defined sustainability project with at least one non-academic partner, and placing this in a larger context of the transition of Faroese society to a sustainable future.

The course content is divided into three parts: 1) Classroom discussions of academic readings about sustainability and project management accounting for 25% of the time (three meetings two hours each). 2) The project, which should be a self-contained project no longer than 3 months, accounting for 50% of the time. And 3) a communication product about the project which should be made accessible on the Green Student-House webpage, accounting for the remaining 25% of the time. 15 ECTS points equal 412,5 working hours. The project plan should include: - Purpose - Short description of idea - Description of the partner and the partner’s role in the project - Timeline - Main literature

Classroom discussions will introduce different theories and approaches to sustainability and project management, and discuss the practical application and progress of the individual projects.
