Introducing TASK™ to students (general)
Dear [students]
[School/University] is deeply committed to promoting sustainability. In this context, we are very proud to offer you TASK™ (The Assessment of Sustainability Knowledge), allowing you to be among the first to be certified by this international standard of sustainability knowledge!
[To be adapted according to your deployment plan] We will invite you to take this assessment twice:
- During your first semester, to establish a baseline and identify areas for development.
- Before graduation, you'll be able to showcase your sustainability knowledge on your CV and LinkedIn profile, to impress potential employers.
The questions you'll be answering cover a wide scope, from environmental issues (climate change, biodiversity, etc.) to social issues (education, inequalities, etc.), to how we can take action through governance, the economy, technology, and so on.
It's likely, and quite normal, that you won't be able to answer all these questions correctly - that's not a problem! As students, you'll be learning over the coming months and years, not only in the classroom, but also through internships, student projects and so on.
[To be adapted according to your deployment plan] In preparation, if you'd like to learn more about sustainability, we invite you to browse the Intro2TASK [link to be included] - a compilation of videos and interactive resources to introduce you to the main topics covered in TASK™.
[To be adapted according to your deployment plan] On DD/MM/YYYY, you will be invited to participate in a TASK™ session by e-mail. So take a look at your inbox!
We wish everyone a sustainable future!

The theoretical frameworks on which TASK is based are:
- the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
