Acting to transform: strengthening the Sustainable Impact Projects (SIP) initiative

The first new feature was an online quiz for first-year BBA students to introduce them to the various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Digital badges are awarded for each goal achieved. ‘This quiz is not just a learning tool, it's a starting point for encouraging students to think about the SDGs, developing their critical thinking and awakening their sense of commitment to their project’, stresses the team coordinating the Lille and Nice SIPs.

A new form of governance has also been introduced: the projects in the same cohort are attached to a central association. This framework is designed to optimise the search for partners and encourage the sharing of internal best practice, particularly in terms of project management, event organisation and communication plans.  

Finally, a team of tutors accompanies the students during synchronous and asynchronous sessions, helping them to achieve their learning objectives. These weekly project management activities are based on first-year courses such as law, negotiation, marketing, communication and accounting. The aim is to create synergy between the first-year courses and the SIPs. ‘Prioritising the group's activities, managing cash flow, understanding the Association's legal issues, marketing a project - all these assignments carried out during the SIPs are a concrete application of the skills acquired during the first year of the BBA’, explains the team coordinating the Lille and Nice SIPs.
