Abstract

Russia has no special guiding documents, specific requirements, or established rules governing sustainable development personnel training. This makes an educator’s efforts more interesting as well as provides opportunities for creativity and diverse achievements. The study presents 6 years of experience of working with young people under 35, and technologies and practices of education implementation based on the eight key competencies formulated by UNESCO in its Education 2030 Agenda. The study comes at a time when the Russian education system is undergoing a significant transformation back toward interactive and project-based learning. We consider certain elements and principles of Agile technologies appropriate in the VUCA world and present technologies used to introduce different project platforms in different learning modalities. All cited research and development is based on introducing the ideology and principles of sustainable development into the mental world of young people and their learning environment. The academic contribution and novelty of the study consist in disseminating and shaping the national agenda for the Arctic in universities, updating national development goals and objectives, and linking them to the global agenda. The study also considers the major types of projects and their results. In addition, we present a teaching-related elaboration of certain works aimed at sustainable development in the Russian Arctic.
