Playbooks full-term Student-Business Sustainability Challenges (SBSC): “Innovating together globally“

In the SBSC programs, we simulated realistic problem-solving of “wicked” problems. Using creative techniques, the participants of the SBSC learned to define and delineate (abstract) societal problems. Involving different viewpoints, they explored new ideas and developed potential solutions.

In the playbooks, we describe our experiences and insights. The aim is to provide learning, teaching and training materials. It is a user manual or handbook for all who are interested in Challenge-based Learning as a training method to promote sustainable entrepreneurship. It offers guidance materials, factsheets, key parameters, tutorials, templates, assessment schemes, evaluations and “food for thought”. We provide concrete guidance on specific formats of full-term SBSC-programs, and give special attention towards aspects of internationalization, digitalization, and sustainability. Contacts with business representatives are an integral part of the challenges. We developed, tested and evaluated new educational tools. The results of the educational formats have been and will be further evaluated in scientific papers. We include a discussion of the expected impact and transferability potential.The target groups include teaching staff, companies, students, and innovation intermediaries.
