dc.description.abstract	Universidade Portucalense Infante D. Henrique (UPT) is an university located in the city of Porto, Portugal. The undergraduate law degree program at this higher level educational institution, offers case study teaching in European Union Litigation. Through this case study in the teaching of a curricular unit in the 1st cycle of studies in Law is intended to demonstrate how one can broaden students’ horizons and integrate global causes and citizenship via procedural and specific subject focus. The Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs, of the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda, first established since 2015, include topics that address various dimensions of sustainable development (social, economic, environmental), as ways to promote peace, justice and effective institutions These arise as a result of the joint work of governments and citizens around the world. Portucalense University took on the task of publicizing and promoting the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through its courses from 2023. This was sought by integrating the SDGs into the Curriculum Units Sheets of each course as well as the lectures given by professor. Portucalense University aims to increase students' awareness and the use of goals as means to promote and train distinguished professionals, and foster responsible citizens. The bodies and institutions of the European Union, have documented that education in undergraduate programs and above must bring into particular focus, civilization causes and promote citizenship awareness in world causes. In fact, the European Union has made an unequivocal commitment to the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs. Through internal and external actions the EU is contributing to the achievement of the 17 Goals, both within the Union and in partner countries around the world. It periodically reports on the progress achieved, as well as the setbacks that have taken place over the various recent global crises (financial, migratory, pandemic). This connection with European Union law is given to students to experience in the European Union Litigation course taught at the Portucalense University. Students are called upon to present research work and analysis of a final decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJUE). The course highlights the explanation of technical content but also adds the connection with the subject matter of the SDGs. This promotes the training as a global citizen by interacting with global causes and creates a sensitivity of active citizenship. The goal is to evaluate the overall influence of studying the SDGs within the context of participatory citizenship training by first establishing a doctrinal framework and analyzing the institutional texts of the European Union.
