On Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th April, the kick-off meeting of the Erasmus TICHE project took place in a hybrid format with participation being either in person in Ferrara, Italy or virtual.
The consortium of the project is comprised of CENTOFORM (Italy), University of Ferrara (Italy), ANOIS (Ireland), Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH (Germany), Institut Régional de Formation à l’Environnement et au Développement Durable (IRFEDD – France), University of Oulu (Finland) and Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB – Greece), which was represented by Prof. Koundouri, Lydia Papadaki and Maria Lentoudi.
This project:
- Promotes initiatives to support cooperation and knowledge-sharing between VET institutions and providers on “green skills”, to make training offers adaptable and flexible according to people’s needs and economic transformations.
- Promotes the innovation of VET systems, considering VET as a responsive supply chain for strengthening employability of people, offering upskilling and reskilling opportunities, strongly connected to the emerging skills needs and the evolution of the international labour market.
- Supports the internationalization of VET providers.
- Foresees the creation of a European Academy on circular economy, by adopting a learner-centred approach to training to maximize the achievement of learning outcomes, and by fostering the adoption of systematic approaches to skills foresight/anticipation, to update VET programmes, curricula and guidelines in a timely and effective manner, fighting the skills mismatching phenomenon.
