The initiative promotes resilience, environmental democracy, and sustainability by supporting academic staff development and enhancing students\u2019 digital and intercultural competences. TREnD also supports civic participation and engagement as well as helps learners recognise and address environmental misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Main outputs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Staff training programme<\/strong><br>Teaching staff at the participating institutions will receive training in the methodology and its tools. This training will enable the project consortium to establish common guidelines for interdisciplinary Education to Sustainable Development (ESD) teaching, facilitate the exchange of cultural norms, and foster competences in intercultural communication and metacognition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Virtual exchanges<\/strong><br>The consortium partners will design and deliver a series of virtual exchanges based on cooperative online research and assignments, incorporating resilience-building strategies into collaborative map-making activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extended reality experiences<\/strong><br>Students will lead the creation of XR experiences that highlight areas of ecological distress. These immersive tools will serve as innovative educational resources, raising awareness, promoting sustainable action, and providing participatory, experiential platforms that deepen students\u2019 understanding and engagement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Partners:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.universiteitleiden.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leiden University<\/a>, The Netherlands (cordinator)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucm.es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Complutense University of Madrid<\/a>, Spain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.helsinki.fi\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University of Helsinki,<\/a> Finland<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Media &amp; Learning Association<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roosevelt.nl\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stichting Roosevelt Institute for American Studies<\/a>, The Netherlands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:42% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"215\" src=\"https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/02\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-1024x215.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38216 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/02\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-1024x215.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/02\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-300x63.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/02\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-768x161.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/02\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-1536x322.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/02\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-2048x430.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/02\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-370x78.jpg 370w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/02\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-270x57.jpg 270w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/02\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-570x120.jpg 570w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/02\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-740x155.jpg 740w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/02\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_POS-600x126.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Co-funded by the European Union.
