Climacité©

Climacité© is an environmental project carried out as voluntary work within public and private establishments or associations, in order to address the global challenges of sustainable development.

An environmental commitment to become responsible managers of the future!

Climacité©: a unique commitment to sustainability

Launched in December 2020, Climacité© educates students on environmental responsibility in a whole new way.

Gone are the classic internships! Here, the focus is on personal development and tangible actions to combat climate change. In line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), when choosing a Climacité© project it is important to consider its carbon footprint, by avoiding air travel, for example, or choosing a local project. Students undertake their Climacité© project in Year 2 of the Bachelor in Digital Communication & Strategy.


The objective of Climacité©… to combat climate change


Excelia, as a pioneer in social and environmental responsibility, created Climacité© with several objectives in mind…

  • Civic education: educating you to become a responsible citizen, aware of your environmental impact
  • Individual and collective action: providing you with the opportunity to tackle climate issues
  • Employability: boosting your job prospects with a unique and meaningful experience
