During the project, the recipient of this badge took part in a student working team aimed at creating a map of green travel routes between the nine campuses of the Alliance. The program also included the calculation of the carbon footprint associated with the various possible means of transport, enabling participants to evaluate and compare their environmental impact.

This badge is awarded to Emmanuel Apetorgbor in recognition of his valuable contribution to the FORTHEM Green Travel Mapinitiative. The student actively collaborated with fellow students from the FORTHEM Alliance and with the coordinators of the FORTHEM Green Sustainability Unit, dedicating a total of 160 hours to the project. Through effective teamwork and a strong commitmentto sustainability, he produced high-quality materials aimed at promoting environmentally responsible mobility across the Alliance.

Overview of the Work Carried Out

As part of this activity, Emmanuel Apetorgbor prepared and documented green travel routes for the FORTHEM Green Travel Grid. His work focused on the following routes:

Route 1: round trip Dijon-Jyväskylä

Route 2: round trip Jyväskylä-Kristiansand

For each route, he researched, compared, and documented four different modes of travel: Air travel (plane) Rail transport (train) Long-distance bus Car travel The comparison considered practical travel options and contributed to raising awareness of more sustainable travel choiceswithin the FORTHEM community. His work supports the Alliance's commitment to environmental sustainability and informed decision-making regarding mobility.
