The European Students Sustainability Auditing (ESSA) project is a response to the developing commitment of higher education institutions and the growing interest of students in University Social Responsibility. The project received funding from Erasmus+ (KA2 - Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices, 2016-1-UK01-KA203-234648) from 01.09.2016 to 31.08.2019.
Over the course of the project, 60 students were trained as Social Responsibility Auditors, going on to audit 4 European Higher Education Institutions including University of Edinburgh, Kaunas University of Technology, University of Porto and King's College London.

Students play a critical role in the project and self-reflective learning is central to the student experience. The project aims to contribute to the wider process of developing alternative models of curriculum development and renewal, centred on experiential non-formal learning in a real-world setting, advancing co-created transformative learning that will contribute to enhancing students’ employability in a way that also promotes the wider social responsibility agenda.
