Abstract
As a broad topic, sustainability challenges companies, universities, and society to work on their financial, ecological, and social frontiers. Many higher education institutions have implemented the principles of sustainability in various ways, but not always with effective results. In this context, the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná (PUCPR) is developing a broader program of education for solidarity, enabling lifelong learning and sustainable development for its students. This paper aims to describe the methodology and present the main results of PUCPR’s education for solidarity program. This study employs in-depth interviews and document analysis from the certification institution and from PUCPR. It also discusses the primary topics and actions taken by the institution. Study results illuminate a pathway for developing education for the solidarity implementation process at universities. Outcomes from this study may support further studies on the topic. More importantly, it may provide universities in other Brazilian regions and countries with a consistent methodology to implement education for solidarity programs.
