Stimulating innovative-inclusive teaching and validated life-long learning on green entrepreneurship for deaf and hard of hearing people (DHH) through digital innovation in HEI
The European Association of Erasmus Coordinators is a partner in the new project “Greenentre4deaf”. It is a 24-month project, funded by the EC under Erasmus+ KA2, Cooperation Partnerships in Higher Education (KA220-HED), 2024 call.
The project aims to strengthen HE capabilities in creating flexible pathways by initiating an accredited GREEN ENTREPRENEURIAL course via modular design for professionals working with people with deafness and hearing impairments. Particularly, GREENENTRE4DEAF, pioneers the design of EU GREEN ENTREPRENEURIAL SIGN LANGUAGE while initiating setting up of ENTREGREEN LIVING HUBs to promote modular-oriented courses, on entrepreneurial and green competencies for deaf and hard-to-hear (DHH) students.
General Objectives:
- Design new pedagogies in entrepreneurial-green programs for deaf through setting up the GREENENTRE LIVING
- Promote green skills acquisition for all citizens, in order to act as agents of positive change
- Foster social inclusion and equal opportunities by enabling deaf people to understand and communicate environmental and entrepreneurial terminology not yet interpreted
- Stimulate innovative teaching and learning in HE through strengthening profiles of trainers, academics, educators and teachers working with DHH individuals with acquiring transferable forward-looking validated competencies; green and entrepreneurial accompanied with closely related digital skills.
- Promote digital transformation, resilience and adaptability of HEIs through innovative digitalised methods such as a MOBILE APP of an e-GREEN ENTERPRISE TOOL to support setting up green enterprises based on needs and preferences and the VR simulator for green skills acquisition.
- Produce transferable, exploitable and sustainable products to be used by any DHH person and educators and trainers of ALL sectors.
Results Deliverables:
- Transnational Mapping Tool via story map with a collection of good examples of green-oriented organisations employing DHH and video interviews with subtitles with entrepreneurs to provide a visual illustration on current training opportunities.
- Peer Review Report:
– List with DHH-focused green entrepreneurship programs and versatile technology use in HE across partner countries.
– Consultation reports by DHH individuals, professionals and industrial experts based on meetings in each country, to establish the co-design strategy and provide input for the virtual transnational peer review session, to develop and approve signs, developed to assess VR scenarios.
– A virtual peer review session among partners - An Inclusive Green Industry Handbook for new entrepreneurs, based on CEDEFOP’s analysis of key skills in green sectors (ESCO, GREENCOMP, ENTRECOMP Frameworks). The handbook will detail skills, attitudes and knowledge, organised into profession-specific modules to be integrated into VR simulations using a challenge-based approach.
- The GREENENTRE4DEAF LIVING HUB METHODOLOGY that provides HEIs with comprehensive guidelines to establish inclusive
The Target groups are:
- Deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) students attending HEIs, but also other learners DHH, including adults, employees, professionals, unemployed, marginalized etc., and other HE students.
