Empowering Greener Projects: The Tools Developed by Green Advisor

GeoCamp Iceland, coordinates the Erasmus+ supported Green Advisor project a collaborative initiative focused on developing practical tools for greener, more responsible project coordination across Europe.

So what have we been building?

Over the past couple of years, our consortium consisting of partners from Iceland, Spain, Finland, Italy and Türkiye, has worked together to design digital tools that support sustainability in everyday project management. The tools are now live and freely accessible to anyone working in EU-funded initiatives or beyond. Two key tools are now available online:
​

• Self-Assessment Tool
  This interactive tool helps project managers, educators, and organisations understand how sustainable their daily operations really are. By answering a set of questions, users receive tailored feedback and practical tips to improve their practices—from energy usage and mobility to digital behaviour and procurement.
  
  
• Orientation Online Tool
  Designed with busy professionals in mind, this resource features short podcasts covering core themes such as sustainable travel, zero waste, energy efficiency, digital sustainability, and green procurement. Whether you’re on a train or walking to your next meeting, you can learn and reflect on practical sustainability measures—on the go.

Why does it matter?

For anyone coordinating Erasmus+ projects—or indeed any EU-funded activity—these tools offer a hands-on approach to integrating sustainability goals into planning, implementation, and evaluation. They are designed to meet the real-life needs of project teams, helping to align our everyday decisions with the broader ambitions of the European Green Deal and Erasmus+ environmental priorities.

At GeoCamp Iceland, we’ve already begun using these tools internally and will continue to share insights from our experience as part of our wider commitment to climate-conscious education and project design.

Have you tested them yet? We’d love to hear how they work for you—your feedback will help us shape the next phase of Green Advisor.
