Fun with a purpose
The Scan Design Foundation Fellowship Program recognizes the significance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals have on our shared future.
To align more closely with these goals, we introduced a focus on environmental and cultural sustainability in our program activities starting in Fall 2023. We encourage our program fellows to explore how values, attitudes, and behaviors shape sustainable societies.
“Leopold’s ‘land ethic’ fits well with Danish values because both see nature as something we’re responsible for protecting and living in balance with, not just using as a resource.”
Katrine, Danish Technical University
“It’s much easier to understand a topic when you can really connect with its ideas and principles. Swimming in the lake and walking through the forest help you understand the beauty of a preserved and respected natural area.”
Matt, UW-Madison
“Learning about the Ho-Chunk Nation’s deep connection to the land added an important cultural dimension to the conservation, reminding me that sustainability is not only ecological but also about heritage.”
Hans, Danish Technical University
