Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) projects aim at achieving a common goal through
teamwork and cooperation. Collaborative skills are among the top soft skills employers want from their
employees. COIL as a teaching and learning method develops reflexivity skills since at the core of a
COIL experience students are asked to examine their own reactions and motives to face specific course
contents (such as ways to feel about and act to find solutions for social and environmental issues).
Likewise, instructors face the challenge of imparting awareness leading to cultural shifts creating spaces
where students discuss and analyse how different groups think or act in the same situation. This
particular COIL experience brought together two universities, one located in Canada and the other in
Spain, both including students from different ethnic and cultural provenance.
COIL is a learning process that integrates different skills and attitudes to succeed in the workplace of the
future. Among these skills, problem-solving, intercultural skills and collaboration skills are key to COIL
projects. This paper reports on a COIL project focusing on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development
Goal 13 (SDG13) with two student cohorts, one focused on criminology and security studies and the other
on sociology and critical thinking. This paper shows how 21st-century skills are developed in online
collaboration and how they may be seen as a step towards achieving intercultural and soft skills in a
professional collaborative environment. The project engaged students in discussions and debates about
contemporary environmental and community issues, climate change/climate crisis, food security/urban
development, the relationship between environmental problems and marginalization/exclusion, and racial
discrimination. [-]
