Abstract

Objective: This study aims to explore the awareness and willingness of Management students at Unicentro to engage in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) during their higher education.

Method: The methodology involves assessing the awareness and perceptions of Management students regarding the SDGs through surveys or interviews. This approach aims to understand their perspective on the role of government, states, and educational institutions in promoting sustainability. It also seeks to evaluate the existing communication and educational strategies within the university concerning the SDGs.

Results: The findings reveal a significant gap in communication and guidance related to the SDGs within the institution and among students. While most students possess a basic understanding of the SDGs, they acknowledge a need for enhanced efforts from governments and educational institutions in sustainability strategies. Furthermore, students advocate for the university to assume a leadership role in integrating sustainability into its methodology, practical exercises, and research activities.

Conclusions: The study concludes that there is an urgent need for improved communication and educational initiatives regarding the SDGs at Unicentro. By fostering a collaborative environment that encourages sustainability practices, higher education institutions can play a pivotal role in achieving the SDGs. This involves developing innovative educational tools and methodologies that not only enhance student awareness and engagement but also contribute to societal well-being and environmental sustainability.
