The SEED (Sustainable Community-based Enterprise Development) Erasmus+ project continues to make strong progress across partner universities in Malawi, Zambia, Ireland, and Europe. The initiative focuses on developing micro-credentials that build green skills, support sustainable livelihoods, and strengthen university–community partnerships. 

A key highlight is the development of a new Entrepreneurship and Climate Change micro-credential, designed to equip learners with practical skills to respond to climate challenges and support local enterprise development.
