Why is the resource useful for VET actors?
Questa risorsa è utile per gli attori VET perché illustra un progetto Erasmus+ focalizzato su gestione sostenibile dei rifiuti, riciclaggio e competenze ambientali, temi sempre più richiesti nei percorsi formativi professionali legati all’ambiente, all’economia circolare e alla green economy. Offre esempi concreti di mobilità internazionale, scambio di buone pratiche e produzione di risorse digitali che possono essere adattati o integrati nei curricula VET per rafforzare competenze tecniche e trasversali. In particolare, l’approccio pedagogico combinato di educazione formale e non formale supporta l’apprendimento attivo e competenze per la vita reale nei settori professionali verdi.
Why is the resource useful for VET actors? (in English)
This resource is valuable for VET actors because it presents a real Erasmus+ partnership project focused on sustainable waste management, recycling and environmental skills, which are increasingly relevant in vocational training programmes in environmental sciences, circular economy and green jobs. It shows how international mobility, exchange of good practices and creation of digital learning resources can be integrated into vocational curricula to boost both technical and transversal competences. The combined use of formal and non-formal education methods encourages active learning and development of real-world skills important for sustainability-oriented professions.
