Teaching global change with virtual field trips
The V-Global project aims to enable university teachers to develop blended teaching about global change.
The V-Global project aims to enable university teachers to develop blended teaching about global change. Very often, teachers are powerless in the face of distance learning which is reduced to lectures. However, for blended teaching to work, it is necessary to design the course differently.
The V-Global project relies on experiential learning to develop active and effective blended teaching practices.
The project focuses on higher education on two axes: on one hand, to enhance the links between education, research and innovation which it plays a crucial role in individual and societal development, on the other hand to combat future skills mismatches in order to provide excellence in skills development and supporting effective higher education (European Commission, 2019).
The V-Global project is about global change. It is directly related to developing and using virtual field trips, which are a way to explore space without generating the greenhouse gases associated with travel.
Virtual field trips allow everyone, including students with disabilities or who cannot afford a field trip, to explore space and understand the causes, manifestations, and issues of global change
Athens through the lens of sustainability
Housing, mobility, waste management and more topics to be discussed in Athens
Sensitive map of Athens
A sensitive map is based on spatial representations and includes sensitive datas such as sounds, drawings, stories, etc. This map is based on data collected during a field trip to Athens in 2022 as part of the V-Global project (Erasmus Plus Program V-Global 2021-1-FR01-KA220-HED-00002324). The 4 authors of this sensitive map include one Athens' resident and three tourists. They have a geographical and architectural perspective.

Rethinking diverse spaces for a more sustainable city
Urbanisation in Athens has been shaped by four key path-dependent evolutionary processes. This virtual trip aims to relate the concept of social resilience with these stages of urbanisation, which goes beyond simply the functions in of buildings, the mixed land-use and the maintenance of public life in the streets, by seeing "urbanisation" a collective condition that shapes the built environment as well as the social relations around which they are formed. The project claims that to show how a deeper understanding of urbanisation in a particular place, is crucial for urban resilience and planning.
