Learning outcome
The aim of this village is to provide significant and sustainable reductions in plastic waste and marine pollution by motivating and equipping innovators and future leaders to;
- explore business opportunities in plastic waste management,
- effectively prevent more with plastic pollution to occur, and
- fill in holes in the global knowledge base.
Learning methods and activities
All lectures, presentations, and team discussions will be in English. Village interactions will primarily take place "in person", augmented with online presentations and digital tools. Every student must have a computer with camera and microphone.
The village will interact with the "Interns for Sustainability" project under NTNUs Action Ocean Plastic Waste, working closely with Sustainable Seas Trust, who is leading the charge for Africa against eliminating plastic leakage into the environment and ocean. Businesses and other NGOs are invited to provide practical, operational, and real-life exposure and experience. These external partners are also encouraged to consider engaging our villagers for summer jobs and internships, thereby facilitating in-depth pursuit of particular challenges or innovative solutions in subsequent project work and master theses.
Compulsory assignments
- Attended all course days
- Oral presentation
- Preparation of a cooperation agreement
Further on evaluation
Evaluation of the project (accounting for 50% of the team’s grade) will be based on oral examination supported by a poster created by the team - rather than a full written project report (as in most other villages).
Recommended previous knowledge
Students from all backgrounds are welcome to join this village - provided they aspire to be part of the solutions, rather than the problems, associated with how we use and dispose of plastics in a greener and more circular economy. Envisioning sustainable solutions and exploring new business opportunities require ideas and insights from all disciplines!
