Dignified Work in Poor Communities

The article is framed within a special contribution to the GUNI World Higher Education Report 7 which focuses on Integrating the SDGs in Higher Education.
It is a case study within four sets of stories about HEIs that are contributing to four SDGs in four different countries and contexts. The first story is about water in Africa, and how research of the issue can enable contributions towards achieving SDG 6. The second story is about SDG 4, learning and teaching mathematics for children from low income households in rural Durban. Making Indian cities inclusive and inhabitable in partnership with local stakeholders is the focus of the third story—SDG 11.
The present article deals with SDG 8, and focuses on dignified employment for poor communities in Sardinia, Italy.
