Training MOOC for Eco-Skills
The goal is to raise environmental awareness among NEETs, especially those from rural areas, in the context of promoting
eco-entrepreneurial learning methods. The MOOC will introduce young people to the world of eco-entrepreneurship,
focusing on the skills (entrepreneurial and digital) they need to have in order to pursue a career within a business or even
start their own eco-company. To that end, interactive multimedia training materials will be developed and hosted in a xAPI-compliant learning environment offered in public as Open Educational Resources (OER).
The materials will be divided into three key pillars:
-Theory: This session includes useful information about the realities of labor market, the required skills for finding a job and
the importance of eco-entrepreneurship in companies. The goal is to provide young NEETs with valuable knowledge that will
enhance their employability chances.
-Practice: This session focuses on the role of the environment in youth employment, exposing young individuals to
environmental activities that will be displayed as interactive multimedia resources within the course. This part will support
participants in putting their newly acquired skills into action with emphasis in organic entrepreneurship and sustainable rural
entrepreneurship. The objective is to enhance the entrepreneurial skills of the target group while increasing their eco-consciousness.
- Assessment: The final session includes gamified quizzes that evaluate the skills and knowledge gained through theory and
practice. Self-assessment questions will allow participants to control their progress.
