What is the RED Sustainable Action Award?
The Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ Experience and Development (RED) Sustainable Action Award is one of the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ’s Official Skills Awards. It is an opportunity for those currently studying at the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ to gain awareness of sustainable issues and opportunities.
Note: If you are on the Global Sustainability Leaders Scholarship programme, this award is tailored to complement your existing journey.
Linked to the United Nations , the award will challenge you to think about the wide-ranging opportunities you can undertake to support the development of a sustainable world.
The award is also flexible, so you can complete it alongside your studies at your own pace.
Why do it?
- Make a difference through actions that support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (for example, working for a land conservation charity fulfils SDG 15 ‘Life on Land’)
- Deepen your understanding of real-world sustainability challenges
- Develop key skills valued by employers
- Receive a certificate that can be used on LinkedIn
- The completion will also be added to your diploma supplement annex and the graduation brochure
