Peer groups projects
The Certificate in Sustainable Development and Social Innovation of the University of Luxembourg offers direct experience of engaging and co-creating with a very diverse social learning group. It also offers opportunities to experiment practice engaging in a social learning process. Peer groups are an experimental field for bridging the gap between academic literature and theory encountered in the course and practical salient problems in Luxembourg.

This course decisively extended my knowledge about the influence of humans on the shape of the world. Learning new viewpoints and opinions was very rewarding. I really appreciated the open atmosphere for conversation and the opportunity for self-expression
It was a pleasure to participate in this course. It helped me broaden my area of interest and it allowed me to learn plenty of new things. 10/10 would enroll again.
- A stimulating, very challenging, and above all motivational course that puts Uni Lux on the map amongst the world's leading Sustainability research centres."Salvatore C.
- I’m very grateful to take this course. It covers a broad scope of questions related to the most acute problems humanity is currently facing. The multiple perspectives highlighted in the course promote thinking in a holistic integrated way how to approach these challenges. Another strength of the course is professionals invited to read lectures who shared their practical experience and expertise.
