We want to share some impressions from our last transnational project meeting for the VET-ECOoking project. It took place in Vienna on the 4th and 5th of October.
The partners had very fruitful discussions about the finalised project activities, namely the research on existing curricula and good practices on sustainable cooking and the interviews that were conducted with more than 100 people in relevant food fields.
We also talked about the next steps and started planning the roundtables with experts in VET training, environmental sustainability and gastronomy industry.
In a strongly connected world the importance of real intercultural dialogue and the knowledge about other continents and countries is every day more important.
The Erasmus+ project DICA is trying to form digital Cultural Ambassadors that will give new insights in different cultures based on individual stories.
We asked in Austria 8 persons, what means culture for them and how their origin is influencing their identity.
Based on the individual stories we are creating now animated videos, that will give insights in various cultures.
Stay tuned for more news coming soon!
We are happy to announce that the official website of the SLACC project is now open to the public. At https://slacc-project.eu you can find information about the project and the partnership in several languages. In the future, all results and materials will also be shared there. What is SLACC about? SLACC is a project funded by Erasmus+ and aims to disprove myths and fake news about climate change.
The goal of SLACC is to improve critical thinking skills among young people and provide them with the communication skills that are necessary to identify fake news about climate change. SLACC aims to prepare young people to become climate ambassadors and protect our planet from destructive actions.
The event „With Erasmus+ projects: Digitisation. Sustainability. Entrepreneurship. Labour market “ at TOP-Lokal, Vienna on 13 October 2022 was jointly organised by die Berater, ipcenter.at, VHS and ÖJAB and registered as part of #ErasmusDays 2022. 42 EU project managers, experts, trainers, coaches and programme managers in adult education and vocational education and training took part.
At this informal meeting results and experiences from EU projects in three thematic areas were presented and discussed how these outcomes could be integrated into professional practice.
Three topics were discussed:
Our focus was on the Erasmus+ projects ILDE, SUM, Missing Entrepreneurs and Cur8.
In addition, experiences from the projects YouEU, Care4Carers, TUTOR and Creative Change were informally brought into the discussions.
Afterwards, there was a networking buffet to exchange ideas how innovation needs in adult and vocational education and training can be met through future projects and cooperation.
The Erasmus+ project VET-ECOoking – Module for VET Degrees on Gastronomy on “Sustainable Cooking” will be implemented from 2021 to 2023. The partnership includes partners from Germany, Austria, Greece and Portugal.

All six CONVOLUT partner countries, Austria, Germany, Greece, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden carried out a national research in order to identify the needs of the future users of the project outcomes. The comprehensive report of Identification of Needs represents a compilation of our findings and includes good practices as well as useful recommendations for the development of the CONVOLUT toolkit.
A few info about our process: Each partner provided a national report on the results, thus identifying best practices and deriving recommendations for the toolkit and the development of the ProfilPASS for people at the beginning of retirement. All national reports were compiled in the transnational comprehensive report at hand, which summarizes the main findings and decisively informs development work for the new ProfilPASS and the toolkit.

With a sense of fulfilment and joy, we met in Göttingen in September 22 for the final conference of our Climate Box project. On the topic of “Open learning and development spaces for sustainability and local development”, we joined other exciting projects and local initiatives under the umbrella of REVEAL – a European network that promotes open, competence-based learning.
More than 100 European and local guests were able to exchange ideas and get inspired about climate change and sustainability in a highly interactive programme with an exhibition of 25 exhibits, workshops and panel discussions.
The hybrid-guided exhibition presented a well-coordinated mix of state-of-the-art sustainable products and services, SDG management formats, educational opportunities, heritage conservation initiatives and much more.
The virtual part of the exhibition can be visited here.
“Unbox It” – was the motto once again at the Climate Box exhibition stand. Packed in boxes, visitors found small entertaining climate-related tasks that got them thinking and discussing.
Climate Box coordinator Sabine Wiemann after the event: “An absolutely successful conclusion to our successful project. With this event, we have certainly also set an example of how conferences can become an active and activating event that offers space for exchange and creative ideas. And in terms of sustainability, it also offers something to look at afterwards – the online exhibition.”
