Transnational Project Meeting VET-ECOoking

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.

Digital Cultural Ambassadors for more intercultural dialogue!

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!

SLACC – the project website is published

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.

Successful Erasmus+ Multiplier Event

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:

• Digital competences for the labour market and social participation
• Learning for sustainable development, with focus on the Erasmus+ projects
• Skills development for entrepreneurship and the labour market

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.
