<< Objectives >>The main objective of the project is to promote social inclusion and enhance people with a migrant background into their host countries' societies through their inclusion in the labour market in HORECA/Hospitality sector. The project aims to integrate people with migrant backgrounds through cooking skills and training programmes that meet our target group needs.<< Implementation >>The consortium will carry out activities in which the main aim will be fostering inclusion and diversity using the culinary arts as channel. All the content will be designed with the main objective of including people with a migrant background (with less opportunities) into the labour market, via the adult education field. Furthermore, the activities will be destined to the different target groups, to ensure both of them are effectively treated.<< Results >>The project will produce the following results:- Training modules designed for trainers, in which they will get a better view on how to work with the final beneficiaries through the training modules for learners.- Training modules designed for learners, where they will learn culinary skills, but also soft skills.- A MOOC enhancing the acquisition of learning from the project, in which an employability toolkit will be added

NEARVET produces an innovative mechanism of systematic inquiry and development of Applied Research in VET, by drawing upon state of the art methods in the co-creation and validation of applied research local innovation eco-systems. It addresses a question that is often left unaddressed - 'if applied research in VET is critical - who are the applied researchers?', therefore defining its target group within the European community of VET practitioners and companies. NEARVET will reach out directly to +200 among VET practitioners, local companies and academic staff and +500 through the Community of practice.NEARVET will realise its ambitions through an interdependent, highly participative work programme, that will:(a) elaborate a methodology concept, within which it will draw upon state of the art methods in the co-creation and validation of applied research methods in VET through andragogical philosophies and user-led and user-validated methods and techniques (b) identify, define and specify the competences required to act effectively in the performance of applied research in VET, including the elaboration of standards and the performance criteria and attainment levels in relation to knowledge and skills to conduct effective applied research in VET (c) provide and nurture a community of practice rooted in a wide and relevant network, fostering exchange of knowledge and innovation through applied research and collaboration between VET practitioners, stakeholders, employers, enhancing VET’s role in innovation, research and development across the EU(d) co-create and validate a set of practical resources and methods, through the establishment and facilitation of a digitally-enabled transnational platform and Hub(e) a comprehensive legacy framework, supporting transferability and sustainability in a long-term perspective, including the exploitation of its results in 5 additional countries in addition to the 6 involved in the proposal.

<< Objectives >>The project’s objectives are to develop and promote a green culture in VET education and apprenticeships and foster collaboration between academia and the private sector for the development of green skills of students during apprenticeships.GO GREEN will facilitate the implementation of WBL concentrated on green skills and support EU policies and recommendations, such as the Green Deal, the Sustainable development goals and the new skills agenda.<< Implementation >>5 Work Packages are going to be implemented:WP1 Project management WP2 Platform for the acquisition of green skills during work-based learningWP3 Capacity building of VET trainers to support the acquisition of Green skills during work-based learningWP4 Application of GO GREEN apprenticeshipsWP5 Sustainability and impact<< Results >>Project results are:- Organisation of 2 study visits to VET schools- Online platform for green skills- Online assessment tool for green skills- GO GREEN apprenticeship framework- Trainers guide- Trainees guide- Orientation guide- Transnational workshop- Seminars for trainers- Pilot GO GREEN apprenticeships- Good practices compendium- 4 National conferences, 1 transnational- An online transnational event- Social media campaigns

<< Objectives >>Investigate Erasmus students’ behaviour (VET) green practices, raise awareness about individual changes to reduce carbon footprint, share information about the concept of environmental sustainability, analyse the individual carbon footprint of Erasmus students, share information about green options in 6 EU cities, strengthen collaboration between VET centres in Erasmus, establishing students’ exchanges with partners committed to a “green” Erasmus, assuring the continuity of a greener Erasmus.<< Implementation >>WP2: ENVIRASMUS Research. Investigating about the environmental behaviour of students. Surveys and report.WP3: ENVIRASMUS Pre-mobility digital workshops. Raising awareness about the importance of sustainability before the student’s experience.WP4: ENVIRASMUS Student’s Platform for a Sustainable Erasmus. Discover our European cities and become environmentally friendly!WP5: ENVIRASMUS DIGITAL APP- Access every material thanks to a mobile app.<< Results >>Analysing the individual behaviour of Erasmus VET students, comparing it to their green practices at home, raising awareness and developing a campaign to share sustainability tips BEFORE the Erasmus experience, sharing valuable information about the individual carbon footprint, the environment, and sustainable options in EU cities in the form of a catalogue. Creating a mobile app, accessible for all, including all the project materials, assuring its sustainability.

The project SECOVE aims to establish a network of cooperation among Centre of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) in the sector of clean and sustainable energy. The CoVEs will be established in 5 European countries (Greece, Spain, Italy, Slovakia, and Portugal) and will all cooperate transnationally with each other through common structured forms of dialogue and communication.The activities of SECOVE are structured as follows. At the core of the project lies the establishment of the five CoVEs and of the SECOVE platform. A structured dialogue will be carried out locally and transnationally, in order to ensure a common, European approach across countries.The other activities can be intended as sectorial components of the SECOVE platform. Specifically, these are: the production of educational material that will make VET more relevant for the needs of the current sustainable energy job market, the nurturing of synergies between industry representatives and VET institutions, the promotion of an inclusive and attractive approach of VET towards women and the mainstreaming of a culture of quality and innovation in vocational education and training.A wide range of groups will benefit from the implementation of these activities: VET students and institutions, companies (both staff and managers) in the area of sustainable energy, women across educational levels and sectors, policymakers at local, national and European level and so forth.The activities foresee the organization of several impactful events: 28 local and transnational workshops as well as networking events with stakeholders (for a total of 590 participants), mobilities (benefitting 45 VET students), 9 Summer VET academies for girls in secondary education (180 participants expected), 4 capacity building events (training of 89 persons from partner organizations) and finally 3 Transnational Conferences (for a total of 210 participants).
