Learning Platform “Greenfluencer” – Tested!
The GreenCool – ‘Let me influence your green self! – Skill development in the encouragement of mindset towards environmental awareness and sustainable development in the alliance of ECoC’ project funded by the European Union continues with many activities.
Project partners: University of Pannonia (coordinator), Militos Consulting S.A., Vytautas Magnus University, West University of Timisoara, University of Tartu.
The general goal of the project is to develop environmental awareness among university students and to spread the thought of sustainable development among the widest possible age groups at events that attract large audience. We committed to develop an innovative online course material and to mainstream sustainable development in all curricula for higher education students. After the MOOC course development in 2023 Autumn semester, Blended ECoC Greenfluencer pilot course (blended learning: online lessons and offline classroom lessons) at national level at four European Capital of Culture Universities (Tartu, Kaunas, Timisoara and Veszprém) has been held. The aim of the course was to develop individual opinions on green topics based on the course content and to implement an individual, pair or group project on a green topic by participating in an event using a communication tool according to students’ choices.
We are happy to share, that during 2023/2024 fall semester, students of Faculty of Bioeconomy Development had the opportunity to expand their knowledge of “Business Communication” and “Rhetoric and Communication” subjects by deepening their knowledge in the ECoC Greenfluencer pilot course. In addition, students had the opportunity to participate in an event “Reflecting Land Art”, responding to the “Kaunas – European Capital of Culture 2022” Land Art festival.
During spring semester of 2023/2024 school year, students of Faculty of Bioeconomy Development will have one more opportunity to participate in the international MOOC: “ECoC Greenfluencer” course at the University of Tartu.
