ABOUT

This project commits to empower new generations of professionals working
in a circular transition with a socio-civic compromise.

To that end, we establish the Circular & SOC Learning (CIRC.LE) Hub;
a meeting point for students, professors, transdisciplinary experts, society
at large, and decision-makers, working together with a circular and
socio-civic compromise.

objectives

To deliver the CIRC.LE Hub

a meeting point for students, researchers, professors and all stakeholders working in a circular transition with a socio-civic compromise.

To collect and create

quality open educational resources on circular and socio-civic aspects and promote training and reflection.

To launch

socio-civic (SOC) learning experiences with a global and local perspective, to be addressed by transnational groups of students guided by multidisciplinary experts.

To deliver

best practices to assess students’ circular and socio-civic experiences.

The CIRC.LE Hub will annually collect, through open
calls, both local and global challenges whose solutions
require a spirit of circularity and socio-civic
compromise.

SOC experiences
CIRC.LE Hub

Will target higher education students in technical universities, who will work in transnational teams with the support of professors and multidisciplinary
professionals-actors who combine a set of socio-civic and circular economy expertise.

Puts at the service of students and
society high-quality open educational resources, including newly created open knowledge training pills, which enriches the reflective learning process.

This project commits to empower new generations of professionals working in a circular transition with a socio-civic compromise. To that end, we establish the Circular & SOC Learning (CIRC.LE) Hub; a meeting point for students, professors, transdisciplinary experts, society at large, and decision-makers, working together with a circular and sociocivic compromise. In the Circular & SOC Learning Hub, students reflect on challenges by evaluating social and civic implications and become co-creators and active part of the challenge. This humanizing approach is here considered as the perfect complement to the technical skills for a true application of circularity principles. The CIRC.LE Hub creates a multi-stakeholder, participatory, democratic mutual learning and knowledge transfer platform and puts on the table complex dilemmas and “out of the box” ideas for students’ social and civic development and promoting local action and global thinking. This contributes to boosting the concept of the European Engineer. The pilot Circular & SOC Learning Hub will be promoted by the participating Universities and Associated Partners and then grow beyond this partnership.
