STOREM project aims at curriculum development of 5 Caribbean HEIs of LA and ACP regions under the subject Environmental Science - a thematic priority of both regions involved. Private and public actors of geographical regions express needs for skills useful to a proper management of the natural environment, in face of climate change threats, and other risks that affect the coastline. The action is aimed at implementing of 3 new graduate (master) curricula in the field of sustainable tourism and resource management in 2 Colombian and 1 Costa Rican HEIs, while integrating existing graduate pathways of 2 other HEIs. The proposed capacity building action integrates the EU HEIs multidisciplinary learning and research expertise on sustainability issues with the experience of the most important HEI in the Caribbean part of the ACP region (University of West Indies, UWI) in training graduates in various aspect of natural resources management. The project aims also at developing an interaction model between HEIs, private and public actors in the region through the activities of the foreseen Observatories on Sustainable Tourism at PCs’ universities, useful for supporting the courses and raising awareness in the tourism business communities. The project addresses also the cross cutting priority on refugees integration in HEIs: 2 out of 5 HEIs in our network include in their student population a relevant component of internal displaced population (IDPs) , people with a lower level of formal education. Activities within the project will concentrate on facilitating the university enrollment of IDP students in the long-term. Developing new skills in sustainability issues will eventually advance the social and economic development of both LA and ACP areas and equip academics, tourism professionals and administrations. These will lead to an empowered market aware of the need to designate funds and resources for guaranteeing the continuation of the academic offer in place.

"Mental health is an important health component throughout the lifecycle and forms an integral part of an individual's ability to lead a fulfilling life. Thus, childhood obesity keeps growing as a phenomenon in Latin American countries causing an enormous social, economic and mental health burden to individuals, families and wider society. Subjective well-being affects how people think, communicate, learn and develop and is a precondition for successful participation in interpersonal relationships, education, work and in society as a whole. On the other hand, poor mental health and physical health impedes an individual’s capacity to realize their potential, work productively, and make a contribution to their community. The general aim of CIELO projects is to increase the competences of HEI teachers and students in the field of health promotion in Latin America for the purposes of obesity prevention and mental health promotion. This aim is achieved by co‐operatively developing Post Graduate Training Programme (online course of 15 credit points divided to 3 courses with 5 credit points each) and mobile application eToolkit ""obesity prevention and mental health promotion"" for the participating eight HEI’s. Specific objectives are: 1) Enhance the competences, knowledge and best practices of Mexican, Chilean and Costa Rican HEI teachers, students and working life professionals related to child obesity prevention and mental health promotion, 2) Development and face validity of the post graduate training programme (15credits) in Latin American countries, 3) Development, piloting, and evaluation of the post graduate training programme online courses related to obesity prevention and mental health promotion, 4) Develop and disseminate the mobile application eToolkit for obesity prevention and health promotion, and 5) Influence on policy level sustainability of the project results in Latin America. According to current evidence of COVID-19 in Latin America shows that, individu"
