In The European Platform for Urban Greening project our one main objective is to co-create relevant, innovative and attractive curriculum on biodiversity, climate adaptation and well-being in the urban, green living environment. Work has started on vertical greening as it is seen as an essential and versatile part of a new and innovative green curriculum. The vertical green learning outcomes are now defined at EQF level 4.
The vertical green curriculum is based on communication between municipalities, companies, employers, teachers and students and it also relies on the survey analysis on European Platform for Urban Greening project WorkPackage 1 where emerged different needs to the students and employees of the green sector – needs to share awareness about urban greening overall, shortage of trained professionals in urban greening, need to specialize in a particular topics in field and the need to renew the image of the green sector.
Based on these needs, WorkPackage 6 launched work on the definition of a vertical green curriculum and learning outcomes last year, when we defined the learning outcomes at EQF level 3. This year, the work continued and now the results are ready for level 4.
See the learning outcomes on EQF level 4 here.
The modules of the curriculum and learning outcomes are:
