SUSTAINSafe Digital Handbook
To ensure an innovative and practical learning resource, partners conducted a literature review and collected 100 questionnaire responses from VET learners, SMEs, and industry experts on agro-hazardous waste handling, sustainability challenges, risk management, policy gaps, and technological needs.
This data shaped a skills map guide, ensuring the SUSTAINSafe Digital Handbook directly addresses knowledge gaps and industry demands. Erenler leads the development of this 80-page interactive handbook, designed as a dynamic, multimedia-rich educational tool. It will feature interactive infographics, real-world case studies, expert interviews, and self-assessment quizzes to enhance engagement and retention.
Each chapter focuses on practical, forward-thinking solutions:
