    PurposeThis study aims to explore interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary interactions around sustainability, focusing on the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs). By using the city as an informal learning space, it presents a case study to raise SDG awareness, promote interdisciplinarity, foster critical thinking and empower students.Design/methodology/approachUsing qualitative content analysis, this study explores students' interdisciplinary engagements. The research centers on student-created Logbooks, combining field data for analysis via open coding.FindingsThe informal setting facilitates transdisciplinary interaction and enriches interdisciplinary skills while retaining individuals' disciplinary tendencies.Research limitations/implicationsFactors like local geographical conditions and participant numbers could lead to minor variations in future course applications. Although initial problem topics and discussions are confined to local urban geography, they might diversify during implementation.Practical implicationsThe Logbook serves as a guide for local urban issues and embodies interdisciplinary outcomes. It can be enhanced with maps and problem zoning.Social implicationsDemonstrates effective SDG integration into higher education.Originality/valueThis study spotlights interdisciplinary learning within an unconventional context - urbanism - bridging student gaps. Supported by a paradigm shift from sustainability to unsustainability, it underscores the significance of critical engagement with SDGs.

    Raising Awareness of Sustainable Development Goals in Higher Education Institutions
    (Turkish Educational Admin Research & Development Assoc, 2024) Suklun, Harika; Bengu, Elif; 0000-0003-1016-268X; 0000-0001-9817-7207; AGÜ; Bengu, Elif; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 10. Rektörlük
    Higher education institutions play a crucial role in advancing sustainable development goals. They bear the responsibility of informing and encouraging all stakeholders, including faculty members, students, and industry partners, to collaborate towards achieving these goals. While many universities are integrating Sustainable Development Goals into their operations and educational programs, there is an increasing need to establish collaborative platforms with private sectors and nongovernmental organizations to further champion this agenda. Educating the future workforce is a key responsibility of these institutions, and they should actively raise students' awareness of these goals, enabling them to develop competencies related to sustainability. This study aims to explore how higher education institutions can effectively raise awareness of sustainable development goals. In addition, the research contributes to the literature by presenting a curriculum designed in a Turkish higher education institution to foster awareness of sustainable development goals. The findings hold the potential to significantly enrich existing literature on awarenessraising practices and the promotion of sustainability strategies, extending beyond higher education institutions to organizations at large.
