In a globalised world, the principles of sustainable development (SD) have become central values. Education is critical in shaping knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to enable moving along pathways towards SD, and a catalyst for development. It is a key determinant of social and economic transformation, and an essential precursor to sustainability. The significance of education for achieving the SDGs is clear. In target 4.7, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is mentioned as a key instrument. Although SDGs are equally important, indivisible, and common for all countries, their priorities are country specific, depending upon the level, gaps and structure of development. B+NESDG responds to a need as lacking international support, Nepan and Bhutan will not manage to create own institutions which can steer their policy on the national level towards SD (German Report on Curriculum Framework ESD). B+NESDG will contribute to increase the quality of tertiary education through a capacity building holistic approach of 6 HEIs on SD to facilitate the accomplishment of relevant SDGs in Bhutan and Nepal, modernising HEIs to be more internationally recognised and competitive by:-Creating “whole-institutions” mainstreaming sustainability into all aspects of the institution, reinforcing their capabilities to support the country on accomplishing SDGs, turning them into institutions fostering SD, inclusion and social commitment. The principle “leaving no-one behind” will be a cornerstone in the project aligned with Bhutan and Nepal commitment to addressing the needs of the vulnerable.-Integrating ESD within HEIs through and inclusive and equitable quality educational approach, contributing to modernise and update the pedagogical framework and to equip learners with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to be responsible global citizens. -Extensive capacity building through training of the university community (staff, educators and students).

CS4ALL is an initiative in three Asian countries to provide tools, knowledge and skills in cybersecurity to teachers, graduates and civil society in India, Nepal and Indonesia so as to increase their IT resilience in the current digital age given the higher rate of cyber crime and risks that affect both individuals and organisations. As these Asian countries transit to a digital economy, the specific objectives of the project are:Development of modular program on cybersecurity (4 courses of 3 ECTS) for teaching faculty and graduate students.Establishment/ modernisation of 9 cybersecurity classrooms in beneficiary HEIs.Development of micro-credentials for adult participants and professionals as part of Life-Long Learning strategy of beneficiary institutions. Elaboration of formative workshops and dissemination events for civil society through HEIs in partnership with NGOs to raise awareness on cyber threats and facilitate cyber protection.Successful project implementation through appropriate management practicesIn order to reach those objectives the following activities will take place distributed in 7 WPs WP1 Collection of best practices in cybersecurityWP2 Modernisation of IT classrooms adapted to cybersecurity coursesWP3 Design and development of modular courses in cybersecurityWP4 Pilot phase of coursesWP5 Elaboration of micro-credentials as lifelong learning in cybersecurity for IT professionals and adult learnersWP6 DisseminationWP7 Project management and coordination (including QA)Expected resultsRetraining of 32 teachers in beneficiary countries5 Updated/new modular courses introduced in existing curriculum in 8 HEIs.LLL courses in cybersecurity for 240 adult learners and people working in private/public sector.Raise awareness campaigns to combat cybercrime including informative videosTarget groupsTeachers: 32 directly involvedStudents: 160SMEs, startups: 40adult learners and professionals: 240civil society, local communities: 1200
