SECOND FACULTY CREDIT The second faculty credit for the "Sustainability and Transition" course was designed specifically within the faculties to complement institutional training by addressing concrete solutions related to the disciplines of the courses taken by students. It focuses on "solutions and actions", with the aim of stimulating critical thinking and encouraging an interdisciplinary approach to sustainability issues. This second faculty credit aims to equip students with the tools to address sustainability challenges from a holistic perspective, integrating essential analytical, critical and collaborative skills. In April 2025, the Faculty of Science held its "Sustainability and Transition" days, bringing together 250 undergraduate science students to explore the levers and solutions to the current global crisis together. The event featured conferences, participatory workshops, field activities, roleplaying games and performances on the management of resources, mobility, food and digital technology. Students had the opportunity to activate the three gateways to transition pedagogy: head, heart and body, i.e. stimulating reflection, emotion and action. The aim was to equip them to find positive meaning in the transition and imagine a desirable future for all. To conclude, a role-playing game simulating a rector's advisory panel placed them in the position of decision-makers to imagine a more sustainable campus, encouraging collective reflection and concrete commitment. Catherine Henrist (catherine.henrist@uliege.be) FIND OUT MORE At the Faculty of Medicine, the innovative course "Sustainability and Transition in Health" for future health professionals highlighted the links between human, animal and environmental health and the major challenges of sustainability. Active, innovative and adaptable teaching modules have initiated the development of relevant expertise in a rapidly changing health sector. With eight thematic modules to choose from, students explored a variety of approaches such as crisis management, sustainable food, intercultural communication and the role of the natural environment in well-being. Each module aimed to develop concrete skills for a more comprehensive and responsible healthcare practice adapted to contemporary challenges. The day ended with an inspiring lecture on the obstacles to action in the face of the environmental crisis, reinforcing the participants' commitment to sustainable health. In 2025, the course attracted around 300 students from the Faculty of Medicine, 50 from other faculties and more than 30 supervisors from a variety of backgrounds (ULiège, Eclosio, Humundi, etc.). Félix Scholtes (felix.scholtes@uliege.be) FIND OUT MORE The Faculty of Psychology, Speech Therapy and Education organised a mini-series of lectures in 2024-25 on issues related to human and social factors in the context of sustainability and transition. The first lecture focused on the impact of climate change on mental health in a context of polycrisis. This was followed by two lectures on the psychosocial barriers and drivers of adopting behaviours conducive to sustainability and transition. Benoit Dardenne (b.dardenne@uliege.be) The Faculty of Philosophy and Letters organised two days of cross-disciplinary workshops, on 9th and 10th April 2025, bringing together students from different programmes. The first day was devoted to disciplinary workshops led by faculty teachers, drawing on the specific skills of the courses (critical analysis, argumentation, translation, etc.) to explore sustainability issues: welcoming refugees, media discourse, responsible AI, gender studies, colonialism, etc. The second day, focused on citizenship, featured meetings with local associations (CRIPEL, UNIA, Eclosio, Territoires de la Mémoire, etc.) on topics such as inclusion, equality and precariousness. In the afternoon, the students worked in groups to design concrete projects aimed at improving student life (inclusive cafeteria, book lending, friendly spaces, etc.).
