Rosa: “I teach at European Studies and Public Administration. With Public Administration I do research projects within the research group Changing Role of Europe / European Impact Hub. Here I teach my students more about, among other things, the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Students also enter into partnerships with government institutions and the business community in order to contribute to a sustainable, just future with their projects.”
She also encourages students to start the conversation. “I am doing a project in the Public Administration program in which I take students to community centers in the Schilderswijk and Moerwijk in The Hague. Here we talk to young people about European climate policy.”
Rosa's commitment to promoting sustainability in higher education makes her a role model for Academica Talks, the platform of Academica University of Applied Sciences. Watch the YouTube video here where Rosa gives tips and advice on sustainability.
