Sustainable cities and communities | ODS Unileon | Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible

Cities and communities must be sustainable. More and more of the world’s population lives in urban centers, and this is often also the place where our universities are located. Cities can be places of great innovation and opportunity, but they can also harbor great poverty and inequality. The interaction between universities and their communities, urban and rural, must be positive and capable of lasting through different generations.

Universities act as custodians of the environmental heritage in their communities; a sustainable community must have access to its history and culture to thrive.

The first objective of VALIANT is to test the effectiveness of Virtual Innovation and Support Networks as a tool that will help to overcome the sense of isolation and low motivation of teachers in rural and isolated contexts, as well as to develop their capacity to operate effectively in international online professional collaboration networks. The second objective is to test the effectiveness of this form of virtual exchange in providing future teachers with access to the reality of teaching through regular interaction with practising teachers integrated into their curriculum.
