As our journey with GreenVET has already begun, we have started bringing our goals and deliverables to life bit by bit. As we speak, the project's partners are in the process of completing a document to be used to familiarize VET professionals with the Green Transition and how VET schools can play an important role in aiding with the completion of the Green Transition's goals. The GreenVET Framework is to be an Open Educational Resource, freely available on the project's website so that we can provide valuable information which is readily available at the click of a button and usable in a VET school environment.
The GreenVET Framework consists of 5 Modules, each addressing a different aspect of the Green Transition while providing a better understanding of its origins, its purpose, its goals and, of course, its intersection with VET schools. Among others, some of the topics the Framework will be discussing are in what ways the Green Deal will influence different professional fields within VET, the key components of education for environmental sustainability, examples of successful implementation of environmental sustainability in VET, how the green competencies align with VET sustainability goals, innovative teaching practices, and many more.
The GreenVET Framework will be available in English, and it will also be translated in every partner's language (German, Greek, Finnish, Latvian, Slovenian, Italian). We hope it reaches VET teachers, as well as management and administrators of VET institutions far and wide. Our goal with the GreenVET Framework is to stimulate teachers to adapt their teaching methods in order to prepare students, cultivate their knowledge, skills, and attitude and turn them to environmental sustainability and the necessary education for the Green Transition.
Schools is where the seed of knowledge is planted and from then onward, it grows and grows. In GreenVET, it is crucial to target these fundamental grounds so as to shift the future work force's attitudes towards environmental sustainability. What better way is there then than to equip VET professionals with the already mandatory Green Transition know-how so as to create environmentally responsible future employers and employees?
