ECS Curricula, Training Modules and Materials (Deliverable 7.4)

The present Deliverable "ECS curricula, the training modules and the materials" is a first draft of how EdiCitNet can spread the idea of the Edible City with its Edible City Solutions (ECS) through different educational formats and above all how EdiCitNet can anchor it deeply in our increasingly urbanised world.

The ECS curricula follow the principles of inclusive communities of knowledge and practice. We present the general approach of the development of knowledge covered by the ECS curricula:

I) ECS Governance,
II) Economic valuation of ECS
III) ECS as Ecological Systems and
IV) Socio-cultural impact of ECS and different learning formats (i.e. standard, global, local, online and special formats).

Furthermore, we defined a three-step roadmap to anchor ECS curricula in a sustainable form beyond the duration of the EdiCitNet project - including evaluation loops to critically revise and optimize ECS curricula. We drafted the ECS curricula, ECS training modules and materials.

The final delivery of ECS curricula, training modules and materials, into which all knowledge collected and developed during the project period can be incorporated, will be available with Deliverable 7.6 towards the end of the project in July 2023.
