Meanwhile, the ACT4SDGs project, which integrates Sustainable Development Goals into curricula across Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and Costa Rica, recently held a closing conference at Universidad EAFIT in Medellín to exchange experiences and promote student mobility. In Europe, exchange projects have focused on practical environmental applications. In Valmojado, Spain, students from GSG-Lünen collaborated with I. E. S. Cañada Real to conduct climate checks on energy, water, and waste management, including visits to local solar installations. In Italy, students compared storm surge challenges in East Friesland with river flooding and drought issues at Adelasia Nature Park. Recent Italian activities have also expanded into cultural and professional development. In Sicily, mosaic workshops in Monreale and Roccamena explored Arab-Norman traditions and community cooperation. In Furnari, the youth association ‘The Cave’ hosted a training course titled ‘Participatory Arts for Youth Work,’ involving 24 youth workers from eight countries to promote social inclusion through visual and digital arts.
