During a time marked by environmental issues, it is crucial to educate and empower a generation of knowledgeable individuals. This abstract suggests an all-encompassing method for environmental education designed specifically for university students. The suggested framework prioritizes experiential learning, critical thinking, and community engagement by integrating insights from education, psychology, and sustainability studies. Through combining theoretical knowledge with practical experiences, students are enabled to act as catalysts for positive transformation within their academic institutions as well as in society at large. The current overview highlights main parts of the suggested structure, such as curriculum planning, teaching methods, and evaluation techniques. In addition, it draws attention to how these initiatives could affect students’ environmental attitudes, behaviors, and sense of agency. Ultimately, the summary calls for the inclusion of environmental education in university curricula to develop environmentally aware and socially conscious individuals.
