Sustainable Global Experience

Our flagship global experience programme, SGE provides students with Carbon Literacy accreditation and opportunities to network with climate professionals across Europe.

Each programme is different, with activities based around each city’s efforts to localise and implement the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Whether that’s closing nutrient loops at Amsterdam’s CleanTech Playground, touring the home of the European Parliament, or visiting Bangkok’s coconut farming communities, we’re showing how sustainable development is really done, in the real world.
