VET Schools Doing Green that brings together vocational schools from various European countries to foster awareness and action on sustainability and environmental values is going swimmingly!

In February, representatives from each partner converged in Bilbao for a Staff Week dedicated to learning and training. Among the attendees were Alfa College from Groningen (Netherlands), ENAC Ente Nazionale Canossiano Ets from Verona (Italy), Kuressaare Ametikool from Lääne-Eesti (Estonia), Centro San Viator from Sopuerta (Spain), Live – Säätiö Sr from Helsinki-Uusimaa, and Ammattiopisto Luovi Oy from Helsinki-Uusimaa Oulu (Finland).

This gathering provided a platform for educators to exchange ideas, collaborate, and adopt innovative methodologies for integrating sustainability principles into their curriculum. You can find specific articles in March Efvet Magazine.

Throughout the event, participants delved into discussions on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), environmental conservation, and green practices. Through interactive workshops and knowledge-sharing sessions, teachers gained insights into effective teaching approaches and practical strategies for incorporating sustainability across various subjects.

In addition to the collaborative efforts during this Staff Week in Bilbao, the VET Schools Doing Green project has also captured the insights and experiences of participating teachers through a series of interviews available on YouTube. These interviews offer a glimpse into the passion and dedication of educators striving to integrate sustainability into vocational education. – Creating a more sustainable tomorrow by implementing good practices and sustainable projects in vocational education and training-.
