Sustainability in student exchange

On this page, you will find tips for planning a sustainable exchange period, making responsible choices at your host destination and returning home. These guidelines are intended for students going on exchange from and to Tampere University. Sustainable exchange studies do not mean giving up experiences. The aim is to identify options that suit your situation, help you reduce the environmental impact of your exchange period and allow you to act responsibly within the local community. Studying abroad helps you understand different perspectives and cultures while developing your communication and problem-solving skills. Taking sustainable development into account adds a new perspective to your exchange experience and helps you consider the effects of your choices.
