Welcome to the second edition of the ENVIRASMUS newsletter! We are excited to share updates and developments we have achieved in past months

Our project emphasizes that students and staff traveling abroad should prioritize sustainable choices. From local transportation to dietary preferences and activity selection, we encourage making environmentally conscious decisions during international visits.

Impact Measurement Update

We used questionnaires and evaluations before, during, and after mobility experiences to assess our project’s impact. Initial findings in July 2023 shaped ongoing data collection. The second report, due January 2024, promises further insights and will be then reviewed in consortium third transnational meeting.

Pre-mobility workshop

Pre-Mobility Workshop: As part of the ENVIRASMUS project, our main goal is to educate students on environmental protection and sustainable practices during international mobility. We offer a customized workshop for both students and staff, designed to be completed before departure.

Downloadable in six languages here it aims to stimulate discussions and raise awareness about climate-smart choices. Join us in promoting sustainability!

Differences between countries

The project is also expected to make students more aware of any differences between at least five countries of origin of project partners and the country they are visiting, and how our choices affect not only the environment but also social and economic sustainability.

European Skills week webinar

Swedish project partners, Drottning Blankas Gymnasieskola and Academedia, hosted an insightful webinar on green skills.

From the webinar: “We must act responsibly when sending and receiving that many learners and staff to/from other countries. With #envirasmus we are promoting a sustainable life style during mobility…and beyond”.

To facilitate effective communication and resource sharing, we are developing an ENVIRASMUS app.  Set to launch in spring 2024, this app will enhance communication and resource sharing during your trip. Use it to find shops selling organic food, locate the nearest bicycle hire, and access a wealth of materials designed to raise awareness about the impact of individual carbon footprints, motivating positive environmental change. Stay tuned for an eco-friendly adventure!
