Description

ENLACE is a transdisciplinary learning lab at FACENS, one of Sorocaba’s main universities. The lab focuses on designing and offering learning experiences to students around the development of social-emotional skills. These skills are needed as a response to pressing local, national and global challenges. To design these experiences, we work with teachers and students across the entire university, adapting learning paths to every semester of their undergraduate journeys. A main outcome of our collaboration has been the development of a learning experience called Metrô ENLACE. The metro is a metaphorical game exercise that takes students through four lines (global vision, entrepreneurial attitude, innovative mind and sustainable consciousness). Every metro line connects students to a different station. In that way, students explore a “city” across three developmental zones: me & myself, me & others, me & the world.

Metrô ENLACE works as an online platform, a digital experience that was developed during the COVID pandemic. Currently, we begin to explore a blend of online and in-person experiences that enrich students’ sense of experiential learning and social-emotional development. As they enter the metrô system, they are asked to choose a ticket, which depends on their academic semester. The learning journeys are, hence, tailored to their different academic contexts and moments.

    Hy
    My name ist Marlies, I work in the strategic field of sustainable development at Bern University of Applied Sciences (Switzerland). I am very interested in integrating the IDGs into the university in the form of a teaching unit, workshop etc. I have just read about your variant, which I am very interested in. Would it be possible to get more information on this? (Methodology? Implementation? Curriculum? Evaluation?).

    Kind regards

    Que projeto maravilhoso! Um produto co-criado, criativo e bem estruturado!

    Também seria aplicável em escolas internacionais? Plataformas online de formação e informação de professores e formadores?

    Adoraria poder contribuir para disseminar essa jornada, possivelmente em Portugal.

    Atenciosamente,

    Victoria
