Our GreenVET Database is a collection of resources contributed by project partners,
our community of practice, but also by YOU. The collection contains links to resources that will
inspire the green transformation of your VET-school's values, actions, and teachings. Browse what
other VET-actors found helpful and share your very own findings to support your peers all over Europe!
If it is useful to you, it is probably also useful to your peers.
What can be found in the database?
You will find links to resources that are valuable for everyone working in a VET-school and interested in
sustainability. This could be teaching material for a specific professional sector or policy papers on EU
initiatives, newspaper articles on the Just Transition, or a podcast on Education for Sustainable Development.
You will get the link to the resource and a short description of a peer explaining why it could be relevant to you.
Who can contribute resources?
While the database is particularly aimed at teachers, administration, and management working at VET-schools,
everyone's contribution is appreciated! To share valuable resources you have discovered, please register here
and get further instructions. Don't worry - the registration is short and painless.
