ENNE+ aims to follow-up on two EU-funded projects that have successfully established/reinforced national networks of VET providers in combination with the exploitation of existing CoP for the promotion of EU competence frameworks. The main objective of the ENNE+ project is to enhance the capacity of VET providers in contributing to the transformative and sustainable change of their local communities through networking, capacity building and challenged-based activities in the field of Eco-innovation. In order to do so, the project will support the enhancement of existing VET national networks and the creation of new ones in four piloting countries (Italy, Portugal, Spain and Austria), with the potential to furtherly expand in the EU thanks to the involvement of two European-wide networks. The project activities will promote the quality and attractiveness of VET, with a specific focus in the field of eco and Green innovation, in particular by: – involving existing VET National Networks in the integration and scaling-up of innovative solutions and approaches for enhancing the attractiveness of VET, by adapting the Social Hackademy Methodology in the field of VET and organising Hackathons; – setting-up VET driven Eco-innovative communities and engaging them in the co-design, incubation and sustainable exploitation of greentech solutions; – facilitating multi-stakeholder knowledge sharing and partnership establishment to ensure long-term impact at local, national and international level.
The project will adopt an innovative approach by scaling up the Social Hackademy Methodology, which was originally developed in the Erasmus+ project #hackAD – Social Hackademy. The ENNEplus project will improve and adapt this methodology to the VET sector, and implement it across four different partner countries (Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Austria) as well as at a European level through the involvement of two Europe-wide networks. The upscaling of the Social Hackademy methodology will create partnerships and synergies among different actors from the VET sector, including enterprises, sector representatives, school directorates, National or Regional Public Authorities, etc; this will be achieved through the development of the virtual Community of Practice collaborative environment and the participation in the national and international Social Hackathons that will be organised in the countries of the consortium.
ENNEPlus main aim is to enhance the capacity of VET providers in contributing to the transformative and sustainable change of their local communities through networking, capacity building and challenge-based activities in the field of Eco-innovation. The consortium will be able to reach this goal by:
-Involving existing VET National Networks in the integration and scaling-up of innovative solutions and approaches for enhancing the attractiveness of VET.
-Setting-up VET driven Eco-innovative communities and engaging them in the co-design, incubation and sustainable exploitation of greentech solutions.
-Facilitating multi-stakeholder knowledge sharing and partnership establishment to ensure long-term impact at local and international level.
