The Eco-Active Seminars at TSUULL are short-term educational and practical sessions designed to raise environmental awareness and promote sustainable thinking among students. These seminars complement the university’s Green Space Project by focusing on the intellectual and behavioral side of ecological responsibility — inspiring young people to become proactive changemakers in their communities.
Objectives
- • The main objectives of the Eco-Active Seminars are to:
- • Educate students about sustainability, climate change, and environmental protection;
- • Encourage eco-friendly habits such as recycling, energy saving, and waste reduction;
- • Develop leadership skills through student-led environmental micro-projects;
- • Foster collaboration between students, faculty, and local eco-organizations;
- • Strengthen TSUULL’s role as a center of ecological innovation and green education.
Activities and Topics
Each seminar brings together active students, university staff, and invited environmental experts to explore key topics such as:
- • Sustainable lifestyles and responsible consumption;
- • Waste management and recycling practices;
- • Green technologies and renewable energy;
- • Biodiversity protection and urban greening;
- • The role of youth in achieving Uzbekistan’s national sustainability goals.
Through interactive discussions, project simulations, and creative workshops, participants gain practical tools for integrating sustainable practices into daily life and university activities.
All activities under the Eco-Active Seminars are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — particularly:
SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation,
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities,
SDG 13: Climate Action,
SDG 15: Life on Land.
By committing to these global goals, TSUULL ensures that every seminar contributes not only to local ecological improvement but also to the broader vision of a sustainable, inclusive, and environmentally responsible world.
Structured Learning Program
To ensure consistency, quality, and long-term impact, TSUULL has developed a dedicated curriculum for the Eco-Active Seminars. The program is structured into thematic modules that combine theory with practice, enabling students to understand, experience, and apply sustainability principles in real-life contexts.
The curriculum includes:
- • Interactive learning sessions on environmental theory and global sustainability trends;
- • Project-based workshops that guide students in developing their own eco-initiatives;
- • Collaborative activities encouraging teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving;
- • Assessment and reflection components to evaluate progress and reinforce learning outcomes.
This structured approach ensures that every participant not only gains knowledge but also builds practical skills to become an active contributor to environmental protection and sustainable development both on campus and beyond.
Student Engagement
Students are at the heart of this initiative. Each seminar encourages them to develop and implement small-scale ecological projects — from campus clean-up campaigns to awareness drives on reducing plastic use. These activities nurture leadership, teamwork, and a sense of shared responsibility for the environment.
Achievements and Impact
Since their introduction, the Eco-Active Seminars have helped form a strong community of environmentally conscious students who take initiative both on and off campus. Many participants have gone on to lead sustainability projects, represent TSUULL at national youth forums, and contribute to the Yashil Makon (Green Space) national movement.
Through education and action, TSUULL continues to empower young people to think critically, act responsibly, and live sustainably — embodying the core message of the Eco-Active movement:
“Think Green, Act Smart.
