Zhejiang University inspires youngsters in response to UN's 2030 Agenda
Consisting of three academic modules (Smart City, Inclusive Development and Carbon Neutrality), the summer school offered interdisciplinary and critical approaches to the world's most critical sustainable issues, inspiring students to think, discuss and find solutions. The courses were given by 36 professors from ZJU and another nine world-class universities, such as Cambridge University, Imperial College London and Yale University.
"The summer school program is highly educational, interactive and informative, giving students the chance to interact with many professors from around the world and students as well," said Kiryowa Idrisa, a student from India.
Stephanie Ann, a summer school participant from Singapore, spoke highly of the Carbon Neutrality module. "The holistic approach to climate change is what makes the ZJU SDG Summer School very insightful. The lecturers, assignments and group tasks not only allow us to apply the knowledge we have learnt but also propel us to ponder and explore the topics on our own."
