Eduquem+B is a a Barcelona+B (https://www.barcelonamasb.org) innovative public-private collaboration initiative dedicated to integrating sustainability into the education system. By fostering alliances between secondary schools, vocational training institutions, universities, and businesses, the project aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary to thrive in a competitive job market while driving positive change in society.
Through strategic partnerships with educational institutions and sustainability-conscious companies and organizations, Eduquem+B raises awareness among students and educators about the critical role of sustainability in education and the workforce.
As part of its commitment to fostering sustainability skills, Eduquem+B has developed ‘Be Ready For Now’, a free self-diagnostic test designed for students aged 16 to 24. This tool enables young learners to assess their sustainability competencies, helping them better understand their strengths and areas for growth. While the project is primarily focused on the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona, ongoing collaborations are expected to expand the reach of the tool beyond this region.
Furthering its impact, Eduquem+B’s methodology and tools will be implemented in ECF4CLIM demonstration sites in Spain and Romania, with the initiative set to take place in Spring 2025.
This collaboration marks a significant step towards embedding sustainability into education and preparing future professionals to address environmental and societal challenges effectively.
