GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY FELLOWS

A TRANSFORMATIVE, GRADUATE-LEVEL LEARNING EXPERIENCE

The Global Sustainability Fellows Program is designed to inspire, inform and mobilize future generations of leaders who are committed to adding an in-depth exposure to sustainability issues to studies in their chosen disciplines. Integrating a rigorous theoretical orientation with experience-based learning, international exposure, and cross-discipline work, the program will impart the core competencies required to effectively tackle urgent sustainability challenges on a local, regional and planetary scale.

The pilot session of the GSF Program took place over two summer sessions at EARTH University in Costa Rica, during July of 2014 and August of 2015. Students from 16 countries on five continents, and representing a range of disciplines, participated in this session.

By incorporating The Lab’s rigorous theoretical orientation with experience-based learning, international exposure, and cross-disciplinary work, the GSF experience adds an essential dimension to the education students receive at their home institutions.

As the GSF program grows, we anticipate that fellows’ work pioneering effective solutions to critical sustainability challenges will serve as a real-world testament to the efficacy of the GSF approach.

This development plan will be the basis for “Project Transition,” which we anticipate will be implemented with the help of The Lab, past fellows, EARTH University, local NGOs, community leaders, and local and regional government.

As the GSF program grows, community-based projects that have sprung from fellows’ work will serve as a real-world testament to the efficacy of the GSF approach, modeling solutions for communities all over the world who are struggling with similar issues.

Participants in the program are among the first members of the GSF Alumni Association, a professional, interdisciplinary network, where a common purpose, language and framework serve as the basis for game-changing sustainability innovations and initiatives worldwide.
