GreenTouch: EcoMind Development for Higher Education Future
Description
The project aims to build digital and green capabilities for promoting interconnected higher education systems through transdisciplinary collaboration in the development and incorporation of innovative EcoMind-based solutions to address students' mental well-being and sustainability awareness. Aligned with the need to address the deterioration of students’ mental well-being, the project promotes shifting the thinking to an EcoMind perspective to create a more resilient and sustainable future.
The GreenTouch digital tool and EcoMind practice e-course will be developed and tested with involvement of more than 2,000 students, academic staff, and other stakeholders. Joint staff training will be carried out through wilderness hackathons. To facilitate whole-institutional interconnection among partners, students, academic staff, and student support staff will participate in international roundtables and organise a transdisciplinary EcoMind conference with more than 700 participants.
The consortium's interconnectedness in education and research will enable the creation of a sustainable transdisciplinary network of high-capacity organisations to promote digital and green capabilities in higher education through EcoMind-based solutions. The GreenTouch digital tool and an EcoMind practice e-course will be developed, tested, and launched to address students' mental well-being and sustainability awareness.
