What vocational education can do for climate action
Project aims to make community-based environmental VET education a more central and visible part of the response to sustainability issues. The project is inspired by the European Climate Pact, launched on 16 December 2020, which underlines the need of a space for people across all walks of life to connect and together develop and implement climate solutions, big and small.
The project which will directly involve VET learners, with special attention to disadvantaged VETs, learners and VET educators, hence allowing to address environmental problems specific to the addressed contexts. The project will meet NGOs, Civil Society Organizations, education researchers and VET education institutions’ need to face analogous environmental and social and educational challenges re-using the resources developed by the project, promoting new environmental initiatives and programmes.
