▶Objectives
More than 90% of one’s lifespan is spent in closed environments therefore indoor air pollution may pose a serious threat to health. The HEI sector represents a unique environment, for faculty members, and a learning environment for students. Breath IN aims at promoting awareness, exchanging best practices, developing skills, creating a Living lab to experience the impact of indoor air quality, in introducing eco-friendly and green practices, and proposing a roadmap for a sustainable environment.
▶Activities
Breath IN will raise awareness through Workshops, Seminars, and Lectures using digital tools, on air pollution, energy, climate change, sustainability, and well-being. It will create Living labs where the learning experience of students and staff will be evaluated before and after eco-friendly interventions aiming to improve indoor air quality. Reach key stakeholders (social media tools, inclusive dissemination materials) that can be agents for implementing the proposed sustainable policies.
▶Impact
The overall Breath IN outcomes aims to tackle different SDGs by 1) improving the good health and well-being of the HEI actors (SDG3-13) 2) promoting engagement as agents of change (SDG4) and raising awareness in the academic community, and key stakeholders by creating Living Labs 3) promoting interdisciplinary and international cooperation by sharing knowledge (SDG10-11) 4) disseminate results as MOOC’s 5) promote green and sustainable practices with a financial impact in society (SDG11-13).
