Resumen

UNESCO highlights the crucial role of higher education in achieving each of the 17 SDGs (SustainableDevelopment Goals). Thus, students should acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainabledevelopment. In this context, the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) has developed the Campus BiziaLab programme as an initiative derived from the Project Erasmus University Educators for SustainableDevelopment. The aim of the initiative has been to promote a collaborative process between academic staff,service and administrative staff and students, creating a transdisciplinary community to respond to sustainabilitychallenges within the university. In the framework of the programme, pedagogical approaches for sustainabledevelopment have been developed for the Grades of Technical Architecture and Civil Engineering at theUniversity of the Basque Country, UPV/EHU. The paper presents the methodologies developed and analysesthe effect on learning process.
