The GREENATHON in VET project, co-funded by the European Union, is entering the final stages of testing its learning materials and digital platform designed for Vocational Education and Training (VET) students and teachers across Europe.
Working Together in Madeira
Project partners met in Funchal on the island of Madeira (Portugal), for two intensive working days hosted by Escola da APEL. The meeting was dedicated to reviewing progress on the pilot activities currently running in schools, and adjusting the learning modules and e-learning platform based on early feedback from participants. The course—built around green skills, entrepreneurship, and climate-related challenges—is designed to help students tackle real-world issues through hands-on activities and digital learning.
Building Real-World Skills Through E-Learning
The GREENATHON project combines digital learning with hands-on activities to equip students with the competencies needed to address environmental challenges through entrepreneurship. The GREENATHON course materials and the supporting online platform are now in the final testing phase. The platform, which will be available in six languages, offers interactive exercises, resources, and certification options for students and teachers. It aims to be a practical and flexible tool for use in classrooms across Europe.
Bringing the school curriculum to life
As the pilot phase wraps up, VET schools are encouraged to start planning their own Greenathons—school-based challenges where students work on sustainable solutions in teams. The full course and platform will be available to all interested institutions in the coming months.
