Modernizing master programs to support forest sector transformation towards Ukraine’s post-war green rebuilding, № 101179074 — ForestPost — ERASMUS-EDU-2024-CBHE Considering the significant losses in the forest sector caused by Russia-Ukraine war and ongoing debates on green rebuilding of Ukraine, there is a clear need of a new generation of well-trained professionals able to successfully transfor
m the forest sector applying the principle “built better than it was”. The ForestPost project aims to develop the synergy between Ukrainian HEIs and forest sector in joint contribution to the green post-war rebuilding of Ukraine through the implementation of new study courses based on the dual education approach, considering the most pressing global and national challenges, forest sector needs, and focusing on acquisition of green skills by students. The consortium of 3 Ukrainian, 3 EU HEIs will develop innovative approach to stimulate the green skills acquisition through development and implementation of 12 new courses grouped into 3 study blocks: a) “Circular Forest-based Economics and Business” (representing economic and social pillar of sustainability) b) “Forests and Climate Changes” (representing environmental pillar of sustainability), c) “Wooden Technologies for Green Rebuilding of Ukraine” (representing social and technological aspects). The project applies and further develops the dual education approach in higher education forestry studies, which combines teaching in classrooms with real work experience. ForestPost project will provide the following intellectual outputs: White paper "Contribution of forest-based education to green Ukraine's rebuilding"; Guidelines "Dual education approach and modern didactic tools for improving the quality of forest-based education"; 12 study courses at 3 Ukrainian HEIs aimed at acquisition of green skills by students; 36 episodes of podcast “Eco-innovations for green rebuilding of forest sector”; 3 Centers for Sustainability Communications; 3 proceedings of conferences.
