Our team shared insights from our project at the 6th International Congress ISFT on Forest and Its Potential for Health, with three presentations in specialized modules and our concept featured in the poster sessions.
Our second transnational project meeting was held in Druskininkai, Lithuania, where our team focused intensively on designing and developing the micro-credential modules.
"Sustainable Well-being - Education for Personal, Professional and Planetary Well-being" (SWEPPP) project is based on the idea that achieving sustainable well-being requires a holistic approach, aligning personal, professional, and planetary welfare. It aims to foster wellness across these three dimensions by empowering individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills to enact meaningful action.
To achieve this overarching objective, the project consortium, composed of higher education institutions (HEIs) and industry leaders, will be working on three main outputs; thereby adding to the educational offerings in the field:
Sustainable Well-being Curriculum
Sustainable Well-being Courses
Sustainable Well-being for Everyone Guide
The SWEPPP Training Curriculum endeavors to establish a universally recognized and coherent framework for integrating well-being into sustainability contexts, identifying the essential dimensions to be addressed in sustainable well-being studies.
Structured in a modular format, the curriculum invites educators from HEIs and professionals from other educational settings, such as trainers and coaches, to incorporate it into the development of their educational programs, including courses, training sessions, workshops, and similar initiatives focused on sustainable well-being.
The project team will commence the development of the SWEPPP Courses, which will be based on the SWEPPP Curriculum, in summer 2024. Stay tuned for our engaging micro-learning units coming your way!
The SWEPPP Guide seeks to motivate individuals to enhance both their personal and workplace well-being. Grounded in the previously formulated curriculum and courses, this guide will serve as a user-friendly resource for nurturing well-being across diverse dimensions.
