ABOUT THE CENTER OdRaST

The green transition is one of the strategic priorities of the EU in the coming period, and sustainability is one of the key development principles. In order to contribute to the achievement of the sustainable development goals, to implement the knowledge and develop the need for life in the only possible acceptable way, the idea of ​​establishing the Center for Transdisciplinary Promotion of Sustainable Development - OdRaST was born.

The OdRaST Center will promote the global sustainable development goals by connecting its three fundamental components: society, the environment and the economy, encouraging processes of awareness, reflection and efforts aimed at modern economic and social development in a protected environment.

 

TASKS OF THE CENTER OdRaST

The basic task of the OdRaST Center is to enable the promotion and realization of sustainable development goals not only through education, but also through the implementation of various activities of lifelong and socially useful learning, a transdisciplinary approach research, innovative and original projects, high-quality interactive forums among students and teachers of the Faculty , including employees of the University of Split. Special attention will be given to cooperation with local and wider community stakeholders, as well as experts of various profiles at the national and international level, with an emphasis on international cooperation with related centers and/or other institutions and faculties, which creates a basis for intellectual exchange and accumulation of contributions from different actors, disciplines, activities and institutions that see a certain problem from their own perspectives.

The establishment of the Center OdRaST is in line with the goals of the Development Strategy of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Split 2021-2025. and with the Strategy of the University of Split 2021-2025.

 

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The aspiration of modern society is to live in prosperity with economic development, respecting the needs of all people and preserving the environment, in other words to live in a sustainable way. The concept of sustainable development can be interpreted in different ways depending on the viewing perspective, therefore there are numerous definitions of sustainable development in literature and everyday speech. However, each definition has in common the term balance, which refers to "satisfying the needs of the present generation, without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to satisfy their needs."

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

Workshop "Think and Live Sustainably" at the Science Festival 2023

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing the entire planet Earth today. Human activity over the last 200 years has led to us standing on the brink of ecological disaster. The aim of the workshop was to learn what we can do to reduce the damage caused. The workshop was attended by preschool children, 7th and 8th grade students and their parents. Preschoolers participated in the waste sorting activity by playing an interesting didactic game. In the first part of the workshop, 7th and 8th grade students performed simple experiments simulating the greenhouse effect, acid rain and melting glaciers on the principle of natural science method. After that, everyone filled out the questionnaire How big is my ecological footprint? this was followed by a discussion about our way of life. In the end, everyone participated in a specially prepared Escape room activity where dexterity, agility and speed, but also knowledge of global environmental problems were crucial for winning. Participants learned how to reduce their environmental footprint, live healthier, save money, and help the environment. By reducing our personal carbon footprint, we will live sustainably and help fight to preserve planet Earth for all future generations.
