Aims and Objectives
This project addresses Greening TVET, which describes the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes that foster a culture of sustainable practices in the community, the workplace, and the institutional setting. Aligning VET Curricula to Greening and the Sustainable Development Goals aims to raise awareness in students and teachers from vocational or academic backgrounds concerning the concept and economics of Greening TVET and societies. This is achieved via an accredited training module that can be included in any VET curricula, or studied as an independent programme. The initiative is implemented under the EU Erasmus+ Project,2018-1-MT01-KA202-038471.
