Institutional Case – Regional Cooperation for Sustainable Development
New Vision University participates in a regional cooperation project for sustainable development, implemented in partnership with the Academic Arab College for Education – Haifa, the University of Pristina, and Aqaba University of Technology.
The initiative creates a collaborative academic platform focused on sustainability, intercultural dialogue, and regional engagement, structured around three interconnected components: joint research, an international conference, and a student exchange programme.
The research component involves a cross-country comparative study examining students’ awareness, attitudes, and actions related to sustainable development and environmental literacy. The international conference, “Sustainability and Climate Change in a Multicultural Space: Dialogue, Education, Science, Technology and Innovation,” provides a platform for academic exchange and dissemination of results. The student exchange programme focuses on sustainable lifestyles and ecological footprint reduction through intercultural learning experiences.
