The Young Masters Programme on Sustainable Development is a global web-based education and learning network. It is free of charge and is open to students (16–18 years old) and their teachers from all over the world.
Extensive online teaching material gives the students a thorough understanding of sustainability issues and solutions. Challenging assignments in their local communities inspire students and enhance their interest in the studies.
Teachers and students from all corners of the world are brought together in virtual classrooms to compare and discuss their results, and to receive and give feedback on their assignments. In the online community, students learn from each other by sharing first-hand information with their peers in different countries. They also gain an understanding of common sustainability challenges and what different local perspectives and solutions exist.
The Young Masters Programme has been developed at the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE) at Lund University in Sweden and is an integral part of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD, 2005–2014) led by UNESCO. The programme is managed by an independent, non-profit foundation, the Young Masters Programme Foundation (YMPF). Close ties and collaboration with Lund university and the international scientific community ensures that the basic course content is reliable and in concordance with the latest scientific knowledge.
