AUB-NCC and OSB have planned a full-day trip to the Shouf Biosphere Reserve for the social entrepreneurship students at OSB on Friday, October 14. This occasion combines the 2022 ErasmusDays (October 13–15) with Arab Science Week (October 15–25). Students will have the opportunity to gain knowledge about climate change, biodiversity, conservation, eco-tourism, sustainability, and social entrepreneurship on this trip, especially in light of the environmental difficulties Lebanon is currently facing. The idea is to use the difficulties they've encountered during the day as inspiration for developing business plans as part of the ENTM 240 social entrepreneurship course.

Students will use the atlasGO app, a step-tracking tool, to help save our planet by taking action. The more kilometers are added, the more trees will be planted by the Jane Goodall Institute! Visit the WALK2CCOP27 website for more information (https://www.walk2cop27.com/allaboutus)
