The GREEN STEAM project was presented yesterday to over 60 career counselors, education experts and representatives of career centers, the Employment Agency, the Ministry of Education, the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, and the Human Resource Development Center – the Bulgarian National Erasmus+ Agency
Nevena Rakovska from the Business Foundation for Education/Фондация на бизнеса за образованието took part in the conference “New Trends in Career Consulting”, organized by the Student Computer Arts Society.
During the event, she presented innovative training resources and digital tools, and discussed the role of megatrends, including evolving technologies and artificial intelligence, demographic and climate changes, and their implications for career guidance and skills development.
The Green STEAM project addresses the growing importance of greenovation and STEAMpreneurship by offering courses for female students on topics such as green and digital skills, design thinking, project management and innovations in business.
Thanks to organizers for the inspiring meeting and the opportunity to exchange good practices!

GreenSteam hackathon in Poland is ongoing! It’s time for green innovation! 
Akademia Humanistyczno-Ekonomiczna w Łodzi has officially launched the GREEN STEAM Hackathon, where STEAM students work on solutions to real environmental challenges.
The event included inspiring webinars with Gravet Consulting, Renavis, Alliance Française, who shared their experience in sustainability and entrepreneurship. Students from Akademia Humanistyczno-Ekonomiczna w Łodzi studying graphic design and management actively participated in the meetings, developing their ideas with the support of experts.
Importantly, the students prepare their projects in response to specific challenges defined by the three companies. This means they work on real business needs, creating solutions that have a chance of implementation and real impact.
Participants start the GreenSteam adventure with an online course (MOOC), covering key topics:
Entrepreneurship in STEAM
Environmental skills
Innovation and design thinking
Digital skills
Project management
The best ideas will be presented and awarded at a demonstration event at the end of June.

Funding: 250.000k
Budget: 55.706k
Duration: 11/2024-04/2025
AIM
The aims of the ERUDiTE project are supported by literature in the field, highlighting a series of individual and community needs:
a) more theoretical knowledge of students / doctors / professions from allied health fields, about empathy and its favorable effect;
b) knowledge and use of self-assessment tools/capabilities (qualitative and quantitative) of empathy and interventions dedicated to its improvement
c) re-legitimization of empathy (communication skills) in the medical training curriculum, along with technical knowledge/competences;
d) The need for a set of recommendations/procedures, to be distributed to decision-makers in the academic environment,
for increasing knowledge about empathy and stimulating its implementation.
Equally, the project requires a transnational partnership supported by: a) lack of solid research and practice on this topic
across European universities; b) the usefulness of a database for future comparative data collection and analysis; c) the
high interest of the partner countries in developing an integrated set of tools and resources that could support the practice of
empathy in academic life.
MAIN RESULTS
1. The Empathy Manual (WP2)
A comprehensive, evidence-based resource for students, covering:

3. The Empathy Curriculum (WP4)
A structured educational program designed for medical and health universities to:

- Provide long-term strategies for preventing burnout and emotional exhaustion.
4. The Empathy Toolkit for Decision-Makers (WP5)
A set of recommendations aimed at university leaders to help them:
- Develop policies that prioritize empathy education.
