Piloting and Assessment of Stepping Stones and Education Journeys
This work builds on earlier efforts in architecture and the evaluation of Nature-based Solutions (NBS) in education to advance institutional leadership through capacity-building initiatives. A comprehensive set of innovative guidance materials are developed, which aim at embedding NBS thinking within strategic and operational practices across higher education and industry. Central to this effort is the co-creation and delivery of interactive workshops designed to establish baseline knowledge, stimulate peer learning, and facilitate knowledge exchange among partners and stakeholders. As a key output, the project involved the design, testing and implementation of 50 modular Learning Units, structured to support both formal accreditation and informal learning. These units cover foundational to advanced concepts and are mapped as 'stepping stones' within a sequential learning framework. The resulting output of this report offers a scalable, adaptable resource to embed NBS literacy into educational ecosystems and workforce development strategies along with exploring the stepping stones of education journeys involving NBS.
