7 D2.1- Upgraded and developed new curricula and syllabuses Methodology To recommend the necessary reformations for the curricula in resilience management, the gap between the demand and supply of resilience management skills and competencies had to be established.

8 D2.1- Upgraded and developed new curricula and syllabuses Methodology… contd. Demand 03 methods were employed in identifying the evolving market needs of resilience management in different sectors such as local governments, NGOs, and private sector in partner countries 1.meetings between university partners and non-academic partners 2.a comprehensive literature review 3.an online survey among 49 respondents in Lithuania

9 D2.1- Upgraded and developed new curricula and syllabuses Methodology… contd. Supply 02 main methods were employed in identifying the existing study programmes related to resilience management 1.an examination of relevant study programmes and modules currently offered by the academic partners 2.an extensive web search to identify the existing B.Sc, M.Sc and PhD programmes in resilience management related disciplines in the partner countries in general

10 D2.1- Upgraded and developed new curricula and syllabuses Results Demand- resilience management needs (Please refer Table 1: Resilience management needs in different sectors in the discussion document for the full list) Examples Legal aspects of resilience Economic aspects of resilience Psychological aspects of resilience Inclusivity and empowerment Structural measures of resilience Information management, ICT and other technological advances Community participation in resilience Leadership in resilience management Development cooperation

Course descriptions, teaching aid presentations and teaching manuals have been developed for these courses.

14 D2.4- Organisational models of teaching A draft document has been developed to help academic and non-academic staff of HEIs in the process of teaching that involves non-academic teachers, internships and stages in external organisations and practical experiences in the field. It also contains different models of teaching, and the ways to optimising teaching resources, the educational offer and relationship with non-academic organisations to exchange the state of the art knowledge in the relevant field.
