We are facing urgent sustainability challenges as a result of climate change. Considering the social and environmental crisis resulting from it, higher education institutions are called upon to prepare current and future generations to meet their needs through a more balanced approach to the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Universities and business schools worldwide are increasingly seeking to explore concrete approaches to incorporating sustainability into their curricula and operations (Rusinko 2010; Holt 2003; Kopnina 2014; Thürer et al. 2018). However, traditional teaching methods in higher education have proven to be ineffective at triggering a true change of mindset among students, and only a transformative learning experience can lead to change. Through a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) project, we show the mindset transformation that students face when working with integrating sustainable development into education through a global and collaborative perspective.
