This digital “board game” highlights the potential for students to acquire and enhance transversal skills and green attitudes by choosing to travel sustainably to their mobility destination. Follow the path from preparation to graduation to uncover all competencies and their link to green travel!
Between 2021-2023, the 20 most popular flows that were realised with a green transportation mode, i.e. not by plane, represented 3.418 student mobilities. Exploring travel habits and analysing data will bring us closer to making mobility sustainable through greener travel modes.
Traveling is part of the journey and the entire Erasmus mobility experience. What skills can students gain by sustainable travel? As part of the Sustainable Erasmus+ Travel (SET) project, we are working on identifying and showcasing green soft competences.
The poster presenting the Sustainable Erasmus+ Travel project, which was showcased in the poster gallery at the seventh edition of the EUF Open Space event, was therefore received with great interest.
What are the most common challenges students face when travelling with sustainable modes of transportation to their mobility destination?
The SET consortium organised student focus groups to provide answers and ultimately help understand what is needed to facilitate green travel in Erasmus+.
The first in-person meeting of the project provided an opportunity to discuss the preliminary findings of the first student focus groups, the planned analysis of student travel data and the preparatory steps for the subsequent activities to be implemented, such as the sustainable travel platform and the green skills repertory.
The European Green Deal, introduced in 2019, is the flagship initiative of the European Union that proposes a comprehensive policy catalogue with a view to reconciling our response to the threats of ecological disruption with opportunities for economic growth and social equality.
The Sustainable Erasmus+ Travel (SET) project aims to support the ongoing transition to a more environmentally sustainable Erasmus+ programme. The online kick-off meeting took place on the 1st of February 2024.
