This project aims to provide a holistic response to the green transformation and digitalisation challenges faced by higher education by strengthening practice-based learning, curriculum innovation, and skills relevance. The project focuses on the pedagogical integration of green and digital competences into higher education through authentic learning scenarios, real-world cases, and interdisciplinary collaboration involving students, academics, and external stakeholders. Green Living Lab learning contexts & pedagogical use cases will be implemented across different climate zones to support practice-based education. These learning contexts will be accompanied by a 6-module interdisciplinary curriculum & an ESCO-referenced skills mapping intended to inform learning outcomes & curriculum alignment. Project outputs will be piloted & refined through structured learning activities, with mentoring and feedback approaches used to support learner engagement & reflection.
