Strengthening Problem-Based Learning in South Asian Universities (PBL South Asia) is an academic research project which is funded by Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. PBL South Asia was launched in November 2018 with the aim of introducing Problem Based Learning (PBL) pedagogy in higher education in Nepal and Bhutan. Ten universities/higher education institutions (HEIs) from Europe (Finland, The Netherland and Lithuania) and South Asia (Nepal, Bhutan, and India) are involved in this project.
Project Goals
- Strengthen the capacity of partner HEIs in Nepal, Bhutan and India and contribute to local innovation ecosystems
- In Nepal and Bhutan, embed PBL content into existing project courses and/or establish new courses.
- In India, influence national educational content development.
- Integrate themes of sustainable development, social responsibility and human rights into educational practice through PBL.
- Consolidate best practices in PBL, from East and West, and create synergy between local design and innovation goals and global business and innovation contexts.
