Partners Finalize Training Content and Interactive Workshop Programme

On 26 March 2026, the NbS4LD+ consortium held an online coordination meeting, bringing together representatives from all partner institutions to review project progress and prepare the next phase of the Erasmus+ project implementation.

A major focus of the meeting was the finalization of the Draft Training Content Document for Trainers. Partners reviewed the latest feedback, discussed the remaining revisions, and agreed on the distribution of responsibilities according to each institution’s expertise. The consortium also confirmed that the finalized training framework would later be adapted for other target groups, including students, technical staff, and local communities.

Another key agenda item was the planning of the project’s interactive workshop series. Partners agreed on the workshop structure, learning approach, and schedule, covering topics such as Land Degradation, Sustainable Forest Management, Nature-based Solutions for Addressing Land Degradation, Educational and Instructional Processes, Digital Education Methods, Soft Skills for Trainers, and Community Engagement in Rural Areas. The workshops will follow a collaborative learning model, encouraging knowledge exchange, discussions, and interactive participation among trainers.

The consortium also reviewed the progress of the project case studies and agreed that each partner would complete the selection process and submit their case studies to Fondazione European Research Institute ETS (ERI) for technical evaluation. In addition, preparations for the 1st International Conference on Land Degradation and Restoration, to be held in Valencia, Spain, in July 2026, were discussed, with partners exploring the possibility of combining the conference with the project’s second transnational meeting.

The meeting concluded with updates on dissemination activities, including recent webinars on Nature-based Solutions and opportunities to strengthen collaboration with the wider European NbS community through initiatives such as NetworkNature and the Italian NbS Hub. Participants reaffirmed their commitment to delivering high-quality educational resources and maintaining close cooperation throughout the implementation of the NbS4LD+ project.
