About the project

INNOVET is an initiative launched by EfVET with the main purpose of tackling some issues highlighted by VET providers related to: the lack of transnational conferences (not related to Erasmus+ projects) where VET schools from different countries can interact with each other and exchange know-how and practices. A rising demand for training opportunities for teachers, given the rapid changes going on in society. VET schools need resilient teachers, who are able to deal with innovation in education and introduce new pedagogical approaches/methodologies in class.

The INNOVET project wants to develop and test a format of transnational conference where VET practitioners from all over Europe can develop innovation starting from the exchange of practices on themes at the top of the EU agenda with a particular emphasis on:
a) Teachers and trainers’ professional development, by organising joint staff trainings for VET teachers that will work as meeting places to exchange practices on themes at the top of the agenda in Europe concerning VET

b) An intense exchange of practices during transnational events, which will focus on thematic areas selected as priorities by EfVET members through a bottom-up approach, namely: Internationalisation and Technology and Industry 4.0 (renamed VET 4.0 due the impact that it is having on the teaching methodologies).

Objectives

The specific objectives of the project are:

Create European meeting places where schools can exchange practices and discuss about innovation in VET on a regular basis

Improve the competences of the VET staff on innovative teaching methodologies and raise awareness on the most relevant themes on the agenda for the development of VET in Europe

Improve the internationalisation strategies of VET providers, including fostering the “internationalisation at home” processes

Outputs of the project :

Format for a transnational conference, tested on 80 practitioners in occasion of the two joint staff training events, which is expected to be replicated after the project’s end.

Collection of at least 16 good practices: the practices exchanged throughout the project will be collected in a website and categorized according to the priority areas.
