Objectives
LESLIE focuses on the development of new capacities to be used by Central Asian High Education Institutions (HEI) in their near-future educational programmes in the field of Sustainable Land Management (SLM). The overall objective of the project focuses on designing and producing a set of Micro-credentials and digital educational tools on Sustainable Land Management (SLM) that will be introduced in Central Asian universities (Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan), updating their current academic offer at BSc and MSc levels, while ensuring that the needs of regulators and industries are fulfilled under the most recent and strict international standards. LESLIE is developed through five specific objectives:
- To create a Hub on Sustainable Land Management in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, integrating High Education Institutions (HEI)
- To jointly design and implement a set of Micro-credentials on Sustainable Land management (SLM)
- To produce a set of didactic tools in digital format that can be integrated as support material in the SLM BSc and MSc ONLINE educational programs
- To integrate all the educational material inside a Single Online SLM Repository (Toolbox)
- To develop a Pilot Future Learning Incubator which includes the application of new educational techniques using a STEHEAM approach to promote and disseminate SLM to the future 2030 university students.
LESLIE specifically contributes to the Green Deal overarching priority of the European Commission, to the external dimension of EU internal policies in the field of education and to the Digital transformation of the HEI in Central Asia.
