Abstract
University of Zagreb (Faculty of Agriculture-FAZ, Faculty of Geodesy-GEOF) participates in the European Research Program Erasmus+ KA2 GeoCLIC (GEOinformation educational resources for CLImate Change Management, https://geoclic.be/) which aims to increase analytic and professional skills among students and lifelong learners to improve their competencies in CCM through use of GIS and RS tools online.
The project is coordinated by the Free University of Brussels (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), while partners in the project in addition to the University of Zagreb are the Technical University of Valencia (Universitat Politècnica de València), the University of Nicosia and the Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule Weihenstephan-Triesdorf).
GeoCLIC introduces the Work-based learning approach to develop training projects and internships in areas impacted by Climate Change. A particular priority is to motivate participation of female learners. 5 modules and OERs (Open Educational Resources) related to CCM will be developed and further enhanced by the use of innovative online learning tools and international collaboration. Employability skills will be boosted by hands-on practices and direct contact with employers. To transfer the project benefits to society, multiple interactions between educators, researchers, environment companies/NGOs and decisionmakers are planned.
