Cultivating Sustainable Economies in the Mediterranean through Valorisation of Bushland Ecosystems

<< Objectives >>To increase professional opportunities for higher education students equipping them with a holistic understanding for valorisation of Mediterranean bushlands and maquis. To promote the conservation and sustainable use of these ecosystems, emphasizing their resources like medicinal plants, food sources, and cosmetic applications. Revive, preserve, and promote traditional ecological knowledge and integrate underutilized plant species and minor crops into sustainable practices and economic models.<< Implementation >>The project will implement activities across four work packages: project management and implementation (including quality assurance), Promotion & Sustainability (create visual identity, organize dissemination campaigns focusing on digital media, and hold multiplier events to promote, exploit and seek the sustainability of project results), and creation of project results (includes planning, research, creation of materials, filming, structuring, designing, and compiling).<< Results >>Expected outcomes include the development of the MedSEVa Handbook, Storytelling Resources, and the MedSEVa HUB, which together operationalize the project's objectives. These resources are designed to align scientific findings with traditional knowledge, making project findings accessible and engaging. These will result in a Digital Handbook, an Storytelling Digital Tool, and a HUB to centralize the access to these results. All available in English and partners languages.
