Climacité© is an experiential training program. It puts students in action situations to complement their academic achievements in the field of CSR/DD. Quite distinct from an internship, the Climacité© mission is a personal development experience. Its teaching methods aim to equip students with a number of cross-disciplinary skills:

• a responsible approach to integrating respect for values into action,
• investment and teamwork to develop the ability to contribute to a project,
• the ability to create sustainable solutions: acquire a systemic and forward-looking vision, and strengthen your ability to tackle the changes needed for tomorrow's world,
• the ability to step back and take a collective approach to understanding the global challenges of sustainable development.
