The Sustainathon is a challenge-based learning intervention which aims to facilitate students actively engaging with the idea of sustainable consumption. The event is part of a Consumer Behaviour Module, which integrates the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals into the curriculum, with a focus on the UN Goal #12: Responsible/Sustainable Consumption. 

The project moves beyond just ‘teaching facts on sustainability’ into involving the students in identifying issues and developing innovative solutions to sustainability challenges that affect them directly.

The Sustainathon aims to help students become more empowered to be community engaged, ethically conscious, professionally competent, and – ultimately - lifelong sustainability advocates.
