The role of Hospitality Education in Social Sustainability
With most of the public dialogue focusing on economic or environmental sustainability, talents are needed to imagine new economic models, contribute to societal growth, and drive a meaningful and long-term return on investment.
In this context,The Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (commonly abbreviated as UM6P) in Morocco exemplifies the commitment of leading universities in Africa to contribute to social sustainability. The University emerged as part of the “Green City” project, a major urban development project located in the historical city of Ben Guerir aiming at creating a model city of sustainability, with a special interest in promoting research, education, and development in Africa.
The following schools integrated the EHL network of schools by demonstrating a high level of commitment towards hospitality education and strong partnerships within their local industry.
