GO GREEN is an Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnerships project, focused on the development of innovation for Vocational Education and Training.  The aim of the project is to support students in upper secondary and higher VET schools to develop green skills and competences during their apprenticeships in a company, following the global need for gradual change in our mindsets and everyday behaviour towards green practices.  

 

The main outputs of the project will be:  

- An apprenticeship framework for the development of green skills and competences  

- A trainer's guide on how to implement gamification techniques, and how to use mentoring for the development of green skills  

- An Orientation guide

- A trainees guide

- A web platform  

- Self assessment tool for green skills

- A publication of best practices compendium  

 

GO GREEN aims at developing the green competences of VET students, as these have been identified by the GreenComp framework developed by the JRC, during their apprenticeships. The project will develop an apprenticeship framework for the organisation of apprenticeships for the development of green skills, which will also be supported by other outputs (guide for trainers, guide for trainees, orientation guide, self assessment tool) all focused on raising awareness and development of green skills of students.  

 

The project will create and pilοt the GREEN apprenticeships (apprenticeship programmes focused on development of green skills of students), that will create workbased learning opportunities well aligned to evolving jobs and working methods and key sustainability competences.  

 

The project aims to substantially change the way in which VET is practised, making it more relevant to the current and future needs of the economy and society, more specifically the growing need for people to improve and develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to live, work and act in a sustainable manner. The project will address teaching and learning processes through the development and implementation of new and more relevant apprenticeship programmes.
