Ecological practices
The project has followed ecological practices recommended for carrying out projects related to the SDGs.
Examples of environmental practices such as:
- Reducing the use of paper in meetings and training activities.
- Promoting the use of digital formats instead of physical formats.
- In face-to-face meetings and training courses, ecological materials such as paper pens, recycled paper notebooks, etc., are provided.
- Encouraging participants to engage in face-to-face activities and use sustainable means of transport (such as carpooling).
- Raising awareness within partner organisations to apply these measures by organising information sessions.
- Making use of digital tools for internal communications (emails, online project management, Google Drive, etc.) to reduce paper consumption.
- Videoconferencing helps reduce the use of transport and therefore reduces pollution. Therefore, it is a good tool for internal communication and even with stakeholders in the project.
- In the "Methodological training guide to contribute to sustainable development in the field of higher education" there is a section on ecological practices.
- In the training course for teachers, a module on the Environment and its relationship with the achievement of the SDGs is included.
- In the premises where face-to-face activities are carried out, the temperature is reduced by two degrees.
- Reduction in the use of plastics in face-to-face meetings (plastic mineral water bottles, etc.).
