IMP>ACT: Developing Assessment Tools for Action Competence in Sustainability and Climate Change Education

The Horizon Europe project IMP>ACT – Impact Assessment for Action Competence (2024–
2027) focuses on evaluating the outcomes of Sustainability and Climate Change Education
(SCCE) by developing robust, research-based assessment tools. Rather than concentrating
on program delivery, IMPACT aims to conceptualize and measure what learners actually
gain—especially in terms of action competence. The project develops pedagogical
principles and professional competence models for educators, piloting and validating
survey instruments across eight European countries in both formal and non-formal
education. This presentation will introduce the rationale, structure, and early outcomes of
the project, highlighting how assessment can support the transformation of SCCE towards
more effective, future-oriented learning.

The Brown Bag Series takes place once a month at lunchtime in the library.
Short presentations and discussions bring together students, faculty, and
researchers to explore current topics, share ideas, and gain new perspectives.
In an open and informal atmosphere – feel free to bring your own lunch – the
series offers a space for lively conversations beyond the formal seminar setting.
Whether you would like to present your research, raise a question for discussion,
or simply listen in, your participation enriches the interdisciplinary dialogue.
The Brown Bag Series is held in English.

*The term “Brown Bag” originates from the custom of bringing one’s lunch in a
brown paper bag.
