“We-R-Open: An educational approach for digital upskilling of Teaching, Managerial and Administrative staff of VET Schools”
Project number: 2020-1-PT01-KA226-VET-094771
Launched on March 2021, this Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic partnership project aims to support VET institutions in their digitalization process, providing learning resources to their trainers and staff. The project partners are 4 VET organisations (FORAVE from Portugal, IEK DELTA and IDEC from Greece, DEFOIN from Spain), the research centre EMPHASYS CENTRE from Cyprus, and the EUROPEAN DIGITAL LEARNING NETWORK ETS from Italy.
The central aim of this project is the digitalisation of VET institutions through providing the adequate learning resources to their staff, since the Covid-19 pandemic has overthrown established practices in the world of education. In particular it has dictated the need to support qualitative and effective digitalisation of VET provision, as well as to pursuit actions and programmes that both teaching and administrative staff need in their effort for upskilling their communication and digital competences to meet the new challenges.
The project is innovative as:
· It uses a holistic approach to upskilling of both teaching and administrative staff of VET institutions.
· It is designed to meet the specific needs of VET institutions to be organized in a virtual way.
· It aspires to prepare VET institutions’ staff to embrace digitalisation and to have a clear digital strategy for the future.
