L’2022 Summer University on the SDGs has enabled us to find creative and concrete solutions to health and environmental problems! Take a look at our 2022 projects!
For a month, students from all over the world - and from all walks of life - gathered at the MakerLab the’Planet Learning Institute to learn how to prototype open source, frugal and concrete solutions for a more sustainable society. This year, students presented innovative projects to tackle health issues and their link with the environment.
Supported by’Challenge Institute, co-founded by’Learning Planet Institute and theUniversité Paris Cité, This summer school takes place every year from mid-June to the end of July. This immersion program, entirely based on project-based learning, has been developed in partnership with other higher education institutions: the’University of Geneva and theTsinghua University.
Students are carefully selected to represent a wide range of backgrounds, expertise and perspectives: natural sciences, humanities, medicine, IT, design, games or the arts. The teams then use the best of this interdisciplinary environment to shape their ideas and bring their projects to fruition.
