Objectives: Create a 3-week European cross-curricular blended study module focused on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) within VET.

Description: RAISE VET will focus on developing teaching and learning materials to provide international learning opportunities for students with fewer resources, meant to cultivate a sustainable mindset in future technician employees, ready to lead the way to a greener future. As well as that, RAISE VET will reflect on the green skills needed for technology jobs, involving diverse stakeholders.

Results and activities of the KA2 project: 1.European blended cross-curricular VET-tailored study module on the topic of environmental sustainability for technical professions 2.Workshop to exchange good practices on how to develop environmental intelligence and sustainable mindset in technical professions 3.Awareness raising campaign targeting students, teachers, companies and society in general.

Objectives: EMEU4CROSSOVERS' goal is to raise awareness of staff, students and industry about the need for and benefits of crossover cooperation between education and industry.

Description: Economy and society are changing rapidly, and collaboration between education and industry needs to change accordingly. During this 3-year project partners will work together to create, test and offer crossover experiences in theory and practice allowing students from different study fields to offer solutions out of their vocational area and to develop a flexible mindset.

Results and activities of the KA2 project: Virtual activities and study modules will be developed and tested to raise the students’ awareness. The initiative will bring out into the open the need for all partners to break down the walls between different vocational educations by developing the project results and by implementing fixed crossover modules in their respective curricula (e.g. ICT and Health Care, Urban Landscaping and Automation).

Objectives: Developing skills for teaching foreign languages in Vocational Training through virtual reality.

Description: In this 2-year project we will develop a series of activities to use virtual reality (EU) for professionals who teach in FP in foreign languages: EU initial methodology, didactic unit database / challenges for EU teachers, professional skills in foreign language through the EU, EU multilingual platform.

Partners and roles of the KA2 project: Association of Higher Education and VET of the Czech Republic - CASPHE (coordinator), the MTI centre, expert in language teaching, the Educational Policy Assessment Department of the Italian region of Trento and Armeria Eskola VET College, which works with students and will directly test the results of the project.

This programme offers students and teachers the opportunity to gain international experience in an increasingly global labour market. Virtual mobility (collaboration between VET centres via the Internet) and real (2-3 week learning modules in an Emeu network centre).

INNOTECS is the international network of technical schools. It focuses mainly on Europe, but is also professionally linked to American technical schools. Armeria Eskola has been a member of this network since 2020 and, together with other members, is facing the future challenges of the European labour market.
