In 2015, the Member States of the United Nations collectively embraced the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a global initiative consisting of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These SDGs recognize that addressing issues like hunger, healthcare, water scarcity, environmental conservation and poverty alleviation must go hand in hand with promoting economic growth, education and social equality, all while addressing the challenges posed by climate change.

At LAU, we take pride in being one of the pioneering universities to incorporate the SDGs into our nutrition programs. Our courses in these fields are tailored to provide students with a unique perspective on how their studies can contribute to achieving the SDGs.

Specifically, at the English and Creative Arts Department (ECA), all four programs integrate the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their curricula to foster cultural literacy, inclusivity, and global awareness. Programs in English, Translation, Performing Arts, and TV and Film are specifically designed to engage students in these goals and prepare them to contribute positively to society through their fields.

Through these initiatives, LAU’s interdisciplinary programs provide students with a comprehensive framework to explore and contribute to sustainable development, preparing them to make meaningful impacts in their respective fields.
