As education advances in digital epoch, the education process becomes adaptive and more and more individual to meet the demands of individual learners. Sustainable development, environmental protection, environmental management and environmental safety are now among the most popular areas of education in order to fulfil the demand in ecological mind formation as an essential soft skill. The article describes the experience of implementation of the results of two Erasmus + projects in 2015-2019 (Trans-Regional Environmental Awareness for Sustainable Usage of Water Resources / Treasure Water» and «Enhancing Competences in Sustainable Waste Management in Universities of Russia and Kazakhstan / EduEnvi) in the network interaction of several universities of Russia and Kazakhstan. The Projects aimed to create the most accessible educational products aimed at obtaining a new competence (EduEnvi), necessary for professional activity and vocational education (Treasure Water) using the capabilities of e-learning technologies. The article discusses the results of projects - strategic positions and conceptual solutions of educational product developers to create the structure of training modules, the choice of specific methods and techniques of distance learning, methods of evaluation of learning outcomes, taking into account different levels of starting training competences of students, their goals and motivation, time frames and forms of educational services (full-time, distant or blended learning). The effectiveness of the Projects is confirmed by the strengthening of relations in the field of environmental management and environmental education and the development of new areas of interaction between universities, economic entities and other social institutions, both within the partner States and at the regional level.
