VET Schools Doing Green

Objectives
With this project,the partners want to reach the following objectives:
-to encourage VET staff to devote explicit time to promote sustainable and environmental skills,attitudes and values in VET curricula
-to include SDGs topics in the curricula through active teaching (the protagonists are the students) and cross-curricula content (interdisciplinary knowledge in order to enable students to connect knowledge across different disciplines)
-to include sustainable and green skills in the assessment

Activities
A WP will be dedicated to increase staff awareness through the organization of 4 Staff Weeks which will be paired. For each pair, the partnership selected 3 SDGs to focus on. The first week of each pair will be dedicated to learning and training, the second to the practice: staff members, with the help of some experts, will create green assignments for the students. The other WP will be aimed at raising students’ awareness through a 5-months piloting and then a Students Week to gather them all.
