Context
A cantonal teaching institution wanted to raise pedagogical and administrative teams' awareness on digital pollution and identify concrete actions for schools.
Sector backdrop. Education and research institutions combine large user populations, very long device life cycles and significant scientific-computing workloads. Their Sustainable IT story is also pedagogical: what they measure and publish shapes how the next generation of professionals will think about digital impact.
Highlights
- Concrete actions for schools: rationalised printing, lighter storage, eco-design of teaching materials.
- Practical tools: SwissTransfer, CarbonViz, TinyPNG, Wave Accessibility.
- Impact of generative AI on energy and water.
Why this matters
Awareness workshops only work when they translate into changed habits. The most reliable predictor is that participants leave with concrete actions tied to their own job, not generic advice that could apply to anyone.
A few patterns came out of the engagement that tend to repeat across organisations of similar scale: teams engage far more when they see numbers from their own organisation, not generic averages.
How the MIKUJY platform supported the work
The MIKUJY platform was used end-to-end to structure the engagement, host the data and consolidate results in dashboards the teams could revisit at any time.
More specifically, the Gamify module fed the awareness workshops with the organisation's own numbers and challenges, so participants could engage with their real footprint rather than generic averages.
MIKUJY consultants brought hands-on professional support throughout the engagement, facilitating workshops, validating data and helping translate the platform outputs into a concrete action plan.
