Abstract
Health Biology graduates could play a pivotal role in public health and human well-being, and the implementation of initiatives at the Ecology-Human Health interface has become critical to attain Sustainable Development Goals. In this chapter, we describe the implementation of an educational innovation initiative within the ?Ecology and Human Health? course curriculum aimed to promote a holistic approach in health management that integrates sustainability principles and embraces an environmental perspective. We used ?Challenge Based Learning and Research Based Learning? methodologies during seminars and practical sessions, featuring two distinct activities with a research, technology, and sustainability focus. The outcomes revealed a notable enhancement in students' recognition of the interconnectedness between human health and ecology following the course, accompanied by an increase in their motivation levels.
