Ecosystem-Based Sustainability Solutions, MSc, Tomorrow University of Applied Sciences

18-year-old Volodymyr Danylov, coming from Kharkiv, Ukraine, joined ToU on a mission with a goal to leave his comfort zone. He’s currently studying a B.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence & Sustainable Technologies at Tomorrow University and is bringing his unique skill set to the Founding Club of the program to make a sustainable impact on our world.

"Dobry den’, everybody, Volodymyr here! I love math and music, play the flute and piano, and strive to be a better person every day. The last few years have been challenging, giving me may opportunities to go out of my comfort zone, starting with searching for a job in another country as a refugee student. I joined ToU to make an impact: It gives me hope, and a path to a better future, especially in a world where war between developing countries is still possible. 

I love it, from community connections and environment to the teaching style of the university. The education here is a rollercoaster through easy and hard challenges, plus it’s combined with personal growth tasks. I didn’t know that can easily keep people disciplined and interested for a long time. It’s also really flexible.

Surprisingly, I still have the same impression and the same inspiration. This university is the house of passionate people ready to help and revolutionize education. It was a beautiful coincidence to discovered ToU; I am really happy that I decided not to lose this opportunity and am really grateful for all the people who have helped me so far. Changing the world is not about talking or planning; it’s about taking action. 

In short, Tomorrow University concentrates on challenging its learners, developing their skills, and providing guidance and support. It certainly can be seen as the future of our education, given its practicality and modernity By giving people hope and the needed instruments, it’s possible to accomplish everything in this world — I believe everyone can make a big impact by leaving their comfort zone.

Eilecia Bovard, originally from California and currently based in Spain, found ToU on a journey to make an impactShe met her Co-Founder in the program and has since founded a sustainable initiative, learn what brought her to ToU. My decision to start a new degree of study came from a desire to redefine and redesign my professional role while having a lasting positive impact on the world around me. Being enrolled in the SET program has already played an important part in guiding my journey toward building a just and climate-positive initiative. 

When I began the program, I was met with a crossroads moment, to pursue developing what I wanted vs. what the world actually needs. One major takeaway from this course is that starting a business is not only about building what I think is a good idea but also about understanding what I value most and aligning those ideas with identified market gaps and building something of service from there. 

As an eternal optimist and a mission-driven individual, my time at ToU has led me to the launch of the perfect-farm.com, our master thesis project. It is an emissions reduction service provider and sustainable investment platform and is a culmination of my personal and professional experiences and values. Many close to me ask, “why livestock agriculture?” Or, “aren’t we supposed to be getting away from meat consumption?” The answer is yes, however, this won’t solve the problem alone as the facts below will suggest. 

The facts: “Livestock are responsible for 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gases. Driven by the growing demand for animal food supplies, global consumption of meat proteins over the next decade is projected to increase by 14% by 2030.” (oecd-ilibrary.org)

Together, with my Co-Founder Niklas Bøe, we’re focusing on fostering change in larger systems and that requires facilitating collaborative actions for a synergistic effect. That’s where the Perfect Farm comes in, we aim to connect the systems that should support one another to produce a sum that is greater than the parts. And one that can significantly and positively impact the greater whole.

As an EU Climate Pact Ambassador and Director of the Institute for Sustainable Wellbeing, the heart of my personal and professional endeavors will always align with opportunities to connect people, communities, and organizations to inspire purposeful dialogue and united momentum. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope that we will have the chance to connect and perhaps express a shared mission one day.
