Samenvatting

"Education with hands-on impact: This project highlights how a German and a Malagasy higher education institution, together with their spin-offs, collaborate to implement
sustainable energy solutions and promote social participation at the local level. Through the joint establishment of a pellet factory and the development of efficient cookstoves, students acquire technical expertise, intercultural teamwork, and a sense of empowerment –especially among women in rural communities. The cooperation exemplifies how practical educational approaches, and local engagement can drive the transition to clean cooking and advance international knowledge exchange in line with the Sustainable Development Goals."
