Proje Özeti

CoLE aims to transform citizen participation in nursing education from informal outreach into a structured, governance-embedded Co-Learning Ecosystem. The project develops two interconnected institutional structures: Community Engagement Hubs (organised gateways linking universities with communities) and Citizen Partnership Labs (formal spaces where citizens act as co-teachers alongside students and educators).

The project uses Planetary Health as a thematic lens to test the model, engaging citizens such as older adults, refugees, chronic disease patients and communities affected by environmental and socio-economic vulnerability.

Key outputs include a validated pedagogical and ethical framework for citizen co-teaching, a Digital Co-Teaching & Co-Learning (CoT&CoL) Toolbox, a European White Paper and a Policy Brief. All outputs are designed for transferability across European higher education institutions.
