Facing FIRE - Service-learning to improve training and employability in wildfire management in southern Europe.Call 2020 Round 1 KA2 - Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices. KA203 - Strategic Partnerships for higher education

Our project is aimed to encourage training and social engagement among students to improve the capacities in fire management through Service-Learning (S-L) projects. S-L projects based on hands-on practices create meeting and working spaces between educators, researchers, forest companies, NGOs and decision-makers. We use innovative online learning tools and international collaboration to transfer benefits to society, allowing bidirectional interactions between all agents. S-L projects are also focused on increasing employability skills, promoting the direct contact students-employers, and emphasizing the role of women in forest management. We are 9 partners from the most fire-prone regions in Europe: Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece
