Sector

Sustainability

Topic

The behavioral change of citizens through the stimulation of their empathy for social and global issues due to climate change is fundamental for the achievement of the objectives set by GreenScent and, more broadly, by the European Commission in the context of the Green Deal and the achievement, on the part of the European Continent, of Climate Neutrality by 2050.

Target Audience

All EU citizens, especially young Europeans.

Consortium

Research/University:University Telematica Internazionale-Uninettuno, Italy; Universidad autonoma de Barcelona, Spain; Teknologian tutkimuskeskus VTT OY, Finland; University of Novi Sad Faculty of Sciences, Serbia Foundation: Fonden Teknologiradet, Denmark Schools: MAYK, Finland; RGSMART, Serbian; Royal School, Transylvania; EA, Greece SMEs: 4sfera, Spain; Climate Risk Analysis, Germany; ECQA GmbH, Austria; Agorize, France Large ICT Company: Engineering, Italy

Project Output

GreenComp Framework in its final version, informed by the results of the activities in phase 2, and complemented by a User Guide (for educators, training providers and corporate human resources), will provide practical information and guidelines for the implementation of GreenComp in programs, education and training.
Use cases: demonstration of how GreenComp has been implemented in the various didactic activities carried out; SCENTBox: a series of physical, digital and hybrid demonstrators, allowing to conduct practical and collaborative experiments in the classroom or involving citizens. Training kits will support teachers to contextualize and implement GreenSCENT demonstrator-based pedagogies in their classrooms and courses. ECCEL: The European Certification for Climate and Environmental Literacy: the European climate and environment driving license, will be developed by ECQA – European Certification and Qualification Agency, and will be proposed as a standard as ICDL, to be adopted in training and in the world of work. A GreenSCENT platform, Mobile app and Augmented reality app, the set of main technologies adopted, developed and evolved during the project, will be available to EU citizens and schools.

Ecoslight

The construction sector faces new challenges in order to provide smart, energy efficient and sustainable lighting environments for infrastructure, cities, buildings and the industry, in order to follow the 2050 low-carbon economy roadmap of the European Commission.

Sector

Sustainability

Topic

There is an imminent and growing need of lighting design skills that bring together lighting design and smart technologies, as well as skills that take into account ecological and human-centric issues on lighting systems in the connected world that we live in. The ECOSLIGHT: Environmental Conscious Smart Lighting project, supported by the European Framework of Erasmus+ / Sector Skills Alliances Programme, aims to enhance employability and improve the career prospects of lighting-related professionals, while also help businesses to find the right competences they need to increase their competitiveness.

Target Audience

Project outputs will directly benefit lighting-related professionals (e.g. architectures, engineers, decorators, ICT professionals, etc), as well as market companies, associations and social partners, municipalities and policy makers. Indirectly, the project will contribute to raising the quality of life of the general public, by enabling smart buildings and cities to provide enhanced lighting experiences.

Consortium

The partnership consists of twelve partners from five EU countries (France, Italy, Germany, Greece, Austria), with some acting with multiple role in the project implementation; four VET providers, four sector representatives, five Higher Education Institutions / Research institutes, one association of VET providers, and one Certification organization.

Project Output

A MOOC for acquiring the basic and common competences of the different job role profiles, and a Specialization Training Course including motivational e-learning and face-to-face lectures and a work based learning phase will be offered in France, Italy, Germany and Greece. The project will adopt European instruments in order to improve the recognition of the identified qualifications. Communities of practice that ensure sustainability of results beyond project end will be formed. Overall, the project is expected to present a serious impact in raising the productivity and results of professionals working in the construction sector, and especially in the areas of exploitation of contemporary technologies, energy saving, and human well-being.

CHAISE

Chaise

Blockchain is at the core of the EU strategy to advance digital transformation, benefitting society/businesses and stimulating sustainable growth.

Sector

Blockchain

Topic

The European Blockchain Sector is well placed to acquire global leadership; still its competitiveness largely relies on the availability of competent/versatile workforce. Whereas the demand for blockchain skills is steadily increasing, employers are facing a shortfall of skilled professionals. The sector is challenged by talents shortage, global competitive pressures, limited connection between education & the market. The aim of CHAISE is to set forward an open, inclusive blockchain skills governance system, to address skills mismatches and deliver appropriate training, intelligence gathering & mobility solutions tailored to sectoral needs.

Target Audience

Stakeholders representing industry, academia, policy and research from across the EU, students, blockchain workforce.

Consortium

CHAISE brings together leading multinational companies, key institutional players, EU umbrella organisations, social partners, thematically focused E&T providers and public authorities/regulators in education & training to deliver the project’s objectives.

Project Output

The CHAISE training programme will correspond to the 5th or 6th EQF level (to be defined during the project), leading to the award of a professional qualification, according to Directive 2013/55/EU on the recognition of professional qualifications. The CHAISE VET programme will be divided into 3 main components, each assigned with a different weight:
  1. technical modules
  2. non-technical modules incl. soft skills
  3. work-based learning
The CHAISE VET programme, following EU standards, is foreseen to have a 5 semester duration, broken down into 4 semesters of classroom and lab-based learning (up to 1,200 teaching hours) and 1 semester of work-based learning (up to 900 hours). The modular structure of the curriculum will also facilitate deployment in Continuous VET (C-VET) environments, enabling trainers and learners to focus on the modules most relevant to their training needs and particular skills deficiencies.

@Go4DiGREEN@

Go4DiGREEN is an innovative and rapid response to the changing operational context due to the pandemic and climate change, as two major factors for the shrinking of the humanitarian space.

Sector

Sustainability

Topic

The @Go4DiGREEN@ digital job training program aims to improve the situation of European refugees by improving digital and entrepreneurial skills of this target group in a measurable and sustainable way. The project goes beyond existing solution mechanisms for dealing with humanitarian challenges and integrating people who have been forced to flee their homes. Go4DiGREEN shifts the focus from basic economic integration to the empowerment of refugees, where they will be able to realize their potential and contribute to local economic and Green Deal development as entrepreneurs.

Target Audience

European refugees

Consortium

Addressing core principles of the EU, such as accessibility and inclusion, and contributing to the European Green Deal, the project consortium will develop barrier-free and needs-oriented training materials on green entrepreneurship through the synthesis of specifically selected systems and tools that have already proven their worth (e.g. Digicomp, Entrecomp, MOOCs4inclusion, digital accessibility, ECQA, etc.) with the involvement of the target group right from the start through the design thinking approach.

Project Output

The Go4DiGREEN digital job training program aims to improve the situation of European refugees by measurably and sustainably increasing the digital and entrepreneurial skills of this target group.
