GreenAdvisor Multiplier Events Inspire Greener Erasmus+ Projects

​As part of the final phase of the GreenAdvisor project, GeoCamp Iceland hosted two multiplier events that brought together project managers, educators, and sustainability-minded organisations from across the education sector. Held in the spirit of collaboration and curiosity, these sessions offered a hands-on introduction to a set of tools designed to make Erasmus+ projects more environmentally responsible — and more aligned with Europe’s green ambitions.

At the heart of the GreenAdvisor project lies a simple but powerful idea: sustainability should not sit on the margins of project management. It should be woven into every step — from the first idea to the final report. To make this possible, partners across Europe joined forces to develop user-friendly, practical tools that help organisations understand their environmental impact and make greener decisions without unnecessary complexity.

During the Icelandic multiplier events, participants explored the project’s three main outputs:

• The Orientation Online Tool
  A clear and accessible entry point that guides users through responsible decision-making from the very beginning of a project. It helps teams recognise where sustainability can be strengthened and highlights opportunities for greener planning before activities even begin.
  
  
• The FootPrint Calculator
  A practical tool that gives project holders insight into the environmental impact of their mobility activities. Participants tested how different travel choices — flights, trains, buses — influence overall emissions, making it easier to compare options and choose the most sustainable route.
  
  
• The Self-Assessment Tool
  A reflective instrument designed to help organisations evaluate their current sustainability performance. By identifying strengths and areas for improvement, users can develop meaningful strategies for greener project execution.

Across both events, the atmosphere was open, forward-looking, and grounded in real-world experience. Participants tested each tool, challenged assumptions, and offered honest feedback. The discussions made one thing clear: sustainability in Erasmus+ is no longer a nice add-on — it is becoming an essential part of quality, responsibility, and innovation in European cooperation.

These multiplier events also reaffirmed the role of GeoCamp Iceland as an active contributor to greener educational mobility. By bringing people together in Reykjanes to explore practical solutions, the events connected Iceland’s local expertise with broader European efforts to support environmentally conscious project work.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us. Your enthusiasm, insight, and willingness to try new approaches help move the sector forward. Together, we are strengthening the foundation for greener, smarter, and more responsible Erasmus+ initiatives — one decision at a time.
