NEREIDAS implemeNtation of innovativE educational actions foR thE protectIon of mexico anD colombiA marine environmentS

 

Overview:

The project takes its name (in Spanish) from the sea nymphs of Greek mythology because the main intention of the planned activities is to introduce in Mexico and Colombia a new system for coastal and marine environment protection against pollution in order to accelerate the transition toward a just green and circular economy.

In terms of education, with the support of European universities, actions will be taken both in content and methodology, with the accreditation and delivery of six new courses (both on-site and MOOCs) selected based on an analysis of local needs, with the aim of improving the level of competencies, skills, and employability potential of students.

In terms of methodology, concepts such as active learning, internationalization, and student-centered educational processes that underpin the Bologna Process will be introduced through specific training sessions.
