Interactive Training on “Zero Carbon Campuses” for Academics and Experts from Libyan Universities
As part of the ongoing collaboration with Esprit University, a leading Tunisian academic institution known for its innovative approach that bridges education and hands-on training in the fields of engineering and higher education, and within the framework of workshops and training sessions under Component 3 of the EU4SKILLS project—which focuses on capacity building in the green and blue economy sectors—interactive training sessions were held on October 30 and 31, 2025, titled “Zero Carbon Campuses”, with the participation of faculty members and academics from various Libyan universities.
The sessions, presented and facilitated by Dr. Myriam Khalfallah, a specialist in natural resource management and environmental sciences, focused on enhancing participants’ understanding of sustainability concepts and reducing the carbon footprint in higher education institutions. They also explored mechanisms for achieving carbon neutrality through environmentally responsible practices and modern technologies.
The training included interactive activities and practical discussions on ways to integrate sustainability principles into curricula and campus management, contributing to promoting environmental awareness and social responsibility among students and within Libyan universities.
This session was part of the EU4SKILLS Project, an initiative funded by the European Union in partnership with the French government and implemented by Expertise France in cooperation with Libyan partners. The project aims to align education with labor market needs, support innovation and digital transformation, promote financial inclusion, and help build a diverse and sustainable economy in Libya.
