ABOUT THE PROJECT
Working together across three cities
Within the international project “Actionbound – Sustainability Goals in my City”, we bring together students from Odesa, Ukraine (Lyzeum), Sofia, Bulgaria (NPMG) and Ulm, Germany (Schubart Gymnasium), to create together an interactive city tour, supported by students working with ILEU e.V. and older adults.
The project is guided by ILEU e.V., in cooperation with the Lokale Agenda Ulm and the International Association Danube-Networkers for Europe (DANET) e.V..
The project is funded by the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung, Germany.

The Goal of the Project
Understanding sustainability locally
The project focuses on the 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations (UN) in 2015 with its Agenda 2030.
From February to July 2025, students from the cities of Ulm, Sofia and Odesa worked in small groups to develop an “Actionbound” (digital scavenger hunt) about their city.
The content focuses on places in each city that are related in some way to selected SDGs.
Creating the digital tours
Each station was documented by the students with photos and text and provided with a task or puzzle for the participants in the Bound.
In parallel, there was a monthly international Zoom meeting where participants discussed their work, the selected locations and the SDGs.
This allowed the groups to regularly exchange progress and results with the international partners.
Three digital Actionbound tours
This created a better understanding of the 17 SDGs and their relevance to one’s own city, and encouraged reflection on the SDGs.
The project resulted in three digital Actionbound tours in Ulm, Odesa and Sofia in German and English, which can be used digitally or on site since 2025 by school classes, groups or individuals, including tourists.
A highlight for the students was a joint meeting in Ulm at the end of July.

What are the 17 SDGs?
AGENDA 2030
17 Sustainable Development Goals
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations are a global plan to promote peace, prosperity, and environmental protection.
They were adopted in 2015 by all UN member states as part of the 2030 Agenda and are set to be achieved by 2030.
The SDGs cover areas including poverty eradication, education, gender equality, clean water, climate action and sustainable cities. Each goal addresses social, economic and environmental challenges to support a sustainable future for people and the planet.
