Strengthening climate change education for sustainable development in Vietnam (CLIDEV) (24-07-2024 14:58)

The project entitled “Strengthening climate change education for sustainable development in Vietnam (CLIDEV)” is funded by Finland’s Ministry for Foreign Affairs.  The project aims to empower an ever-increasing number of students with improved climate change knowledge and skills to make a positive contribution to the needs of society. The main intended outcome is the enhancement of forest and agriculture-related climate change higher education programmes in Vietnam.  The project duration is from 1/9/2020 to 31/8/2024 and this is a unique collaboration between six university partners: University of Helsinki and Laurea University of Applied Sciences (Finland); Hue University, Vietnam National University of Forestry, Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry and Tay Nguyen University (Vietnam).

 

The expected outputs of the project are:

  • Improved links and relationships between Finnish and southern partner HEIs for the development of institutional partnership and areas for cooperation for project implementation.
  • Increased inclusion of stakeholders as part of curricular upgrades, defining desirable academic outcomes, and co-creation of knowledge.
  • Practical and innovative Climate Change educational tools and pedagogical methods, through ToTs capacity building activities and the upgrade/creation of strategic courses.
  • Improved accessibility of education by encouraging open educational resources –OER- (data collection, GIS, collaborative tools) and MOOCs – owned and maintained by partner HEIs
  • Provided tools and materials (IT, equipment upgrades) to support implementation of project activities and incorporation of new tools and methods into curricula

These outputs will lead to increased understanding of climate change to support fact-based decision-making resulting in increased resilience of vulnerable communities. It will also support partner countries to pursue sustainable development pathways.
