Greenathon in VET

The ‘Greenathon in VET’ project was implemented to provide training materials on green entrepreneurial skills and a green ideathon opportunity for VET students. Additionally, the project aimed to develop a methodology for VET teachers on how to implement training based on the 'Greenathon in VET' materials. Moreover, it outlines the process of organizing a green ideathon at institutions, as well as the ways to prepare students for these competitions.

As there is an emerging market need for skilled manpower who are aware of their sector's impact on the environment and climate, it is important to enhance the green entrepreneurial skills of VET students. Thus, the ultimate goal of the 'Greenathon in VET' project is to:

Encourage VET students to develop their own green ideas.

Prepare them to participate in ideathons, enabling them to contribute to a greener, more sustainable, and climate-neutral future in their industry as professionals, while also equipping teachers.

The 'Greenathon in VET' project is an Erasmus+ vocational education and training initiative with partners from across Europe. Within the project, partners from Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Ireland, Malta, Turkey, and Portugal join forces to develop new learning and training materials for the target group of students and teachers.
