The GreenVETnet consortium met face-to-face firstly in the project duration in May 2022 in Budapest. The two-day meeting was a good opportunity to build up a common understanding about the project objectives, to share ideas about sustainability issues in VET sector, and to learn more about each other’s organizations.
The GreenVETnet project (New European Network for the Green Skills in Vocational Education and Training) started in January 2022 to establish a methodology for educators’ skills training in some of the key sectors that come with the greatest opportunity for growth of green jobs that support sustainable development (including hospitality management and tourism, business and administration, logistics/transport, and construction sector) with the goal to enhance the VET educators’ skills and knowledge on sustainability potentials of their own field. The project will create a platform for peer-learning, exchange of experiences and know-how, as well as identification of best practices on how VET can act as a bridge to the sustainable development of working life and supporting the green transition, finally making a wider impact on the society.
