Promotion of Urban Soil Management for Increased VET Competence and Greener Cities

The project aims to increase the competence of stakeholders in the green and grey sectors regarding urban soil management and to strengthen the capacity of Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers in knowledge transfer to their target groups. The project will develop and implement several educational outputs, including a 2 ECTS syllabus and learning materials on urban soil for Higher Education (EQF 6), an internationally applicable Visual Soil Assessment (VSA) tool and training guide (EQF 4-6), a 2 ECTS syllabus and learning materials for VET learners (EQF 4), and a tailored 3 ECTS training programme for VET, including course texts, case studies, video tutorials, masterclasses, and three practice-oriented learning modules. All outputs will be tested and launched. Expected results include the mitigation of climate change factors, the promotion of efficient and sustainable urban ecosystem management, increased competences among stakeholders in the green and grey sectors, and enhanced VET capacity to respond to changing labour market needs and urban ecosystem challenges.
