Code Blue: Cross-Disciplinary Innovative Education in Tourism and Services for a Sustainable Blue Economy
Funding: The project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme (Cooperation Partnerships in Higher Education / KA220-HED) of the European Union.
Project Profile (Summary): The European project Code Blue aims primarily to transform tourism education by integrating the principles of a sustainable blue economy into curricula. Through a cross-disciplinary approach, the project aims to equip students, academics, and industry professionals with the necessary green and digital skills to promote innovation and environmental sustainability in coastal and maritime tourism.
To achieve this goal, Code Blue is developing an innovative, modular curriculum flexibly adaptable to the needs of higher education (HE), continuing vocational education and training (cVET), and lifelong learning (LLL). At the same time, the project introduces digital tools and open educational resources (OERs), and supports the certification of learning outcomes through micro-credentials, enhancing collaboration among universities, businesses, and policymakers.
Our Role: The Laboratory of Innovative Tourism Entrepreneurship and Human Resources Development (iTED lab) of the Department of Tourism Economics and Management at the University of the Aegean in Chios actively participates in the Code Blue project as a strategic partner. Leveraging its research and academic expertise, the iTED lab co-designs the cross-disciplinary curriculum, leads the development of educational modules and digital resources, and contributes significantly to the training of trainers, as well as the pilot implementation and evaluation of the project's results at the national level.
