| Abstract: | The climate and its impact on our planet and civilization is a defining challenge of the 21st century. "CSR" Corporate Social Responsibility, sustainability and climate resilience are highly significant, and organizations and communities across continents should be managed in a way that ensures that this planet remains habitable. We share the planning and implementation of our experiment aimed at creating and validating a model for sustainability and CSR to prepare tomorrow's leaders to undertake global initiatives. The proposed model facilitates the process of brainstorming, critical thinking and problem-solving across borders, cultures, industries, and disciplines. Our approach utilizes teamwork collaboration across multiple international universities and a myriad of disciplines in order to formulate change, progress and come up with new solutions and answers for existing as well as tomorrow's challenges. The main challenges we addressed: Find solutions across industries, countries, regions, and cultures. Teamwork and problem-solving skills, requiring a global and intercultural approach Developing global and cultural competence, and the ability to communicate and reach agreements/deliverables. Sustainability can be engaging and empowering. It allows students to assume responsibility for their actions and to contribute their vision for a sustainable future. However, their perspectives may be limited to and influenced by the city/country in which they reside. This experience will facilitate their development of knowledge and skills, improve their awareness of values and motivations for action, as well as allow them to ensure their own wellbeing-and that of their community and the planet-in an increasingly interconnected world. Stefan Crets Executive Director CSR Europe states: "Collaboration is vital to pursue the systemic changes needed in society and within business to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals" ("Collaboration for Impact," 2018). The World Economic Forum (WEF) focuses on many aspects of CSR and features several platforms stating that we are living in a more complicated and fast-changing world with interconnected problems and challenges. Businesses, governments, and civil society are undertaking initiatives to define these problems, search for solutions and take action. But how do the world's efforts to address these challenges feed into interconnected global systems, or attract wider public attention for more impact? |
