project objectives
Climate change presents a significant threat in the 21st century, with the transport sector being a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. Previous initiatives have not effectively curbed emissions from the EU's transport sector, necessitating urgent action to revolutionize current practices.
REFOCUS addresses this challenge by developing innovative, student-centered curricula and training in transport, shipping, and logistics to empower individuals, especially those with fewer opportunities, and promote sustainability and resilience in a rapidly evolving market.
Objective 1
Align student learning needs with labor market and EU sustainability, resilience, inclusiveness, and equity goals, while improving educators' knowledge of sustainability and climate change.
Objective 2
Engage in a co-design process to create interactive training material for collaborative online and research-based learning, particularly for disadvantaged individuals.
Objective 3
Create a trans-disciplinary learning space, the Learning Communities of Practice (CoP), for students to learn from diverse educators and address climate change challenges.
Target Group
The project aims to support groups with an interest in transport, shipping and logistics sectors, such as:
- People located in isolated rural/island areas that have not been able to pursue undergraduate studies
Students belonging to disadvantaged groups
University dropouts
Single parent families
