About the project

The partnership of 7 organizations (VET providers, mobility providers and a public body) from 5 different countries (France, Italy, Spain, Finland and Germany) worked together with the common goal of strengthening the European dimension of schools and VET centers by innovating their internationalization strategies thanks to the use of digital tools and to the development of teachers’ digital competences.

The idea was born from a need to address the challenges in the job market due to the changing demand of a more globalised and intercultural world, as well as the rising mobility of the workforce. Internationalisation of training systems has been regarded as the crucial response to provide young people with key competences, focused on citizenship and interculturality. 

Given this context, the overall objective of the project is to strengthen the European dimension of VET centers nowadays strongly affected by the circumstances created by the COVID 19 pandemic by innovating their internationalisation strategies thanks to the use of digital tools and to the development of teachers’ digital competences.
