The Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme The Green Shift: Empowering Community and Nature-Based Potential is an international learning programme designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience needed to build sustainable, resilient, and inclusive communities. The programme explores how community participation, the social economy, and nature-based solutions can address environmental and social challenges while creating long-term development potential. The programme combines theory, interdisciplinary learning, and hands-on collaboration between students from different countries, academic disciplines, and stakeholder organisations. Participants will work in international teams to analyse real-life community challenges and develop innovative, economically viable solutions with measurable social and environmental impact. Through a blended learning format, students will gain insight into urban agriculture, social entrepreneurship, impact measurement, sustainable financing models, and design thinking, while developing strong problem-solving and creative thinking competences.
