VET to VET – Capacity Building in Western Balkans (2020 – 2023)
VET to VET pilot European project funded by the European Union - of which Apro Formazione is the leader - aims to improve the innovation, modernization and internationalization of VET schools in the Western Balkans.
The partnership consists of ten VET schools, five within the European Union (Italy, Netherlands, Finland, Slovenia and Croatia) and five between Montenegro, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, for a total of 2,700 employees and 41,000 students involved. The logic of the project is based on constant twinning, coaching and support between the countries participating in the European program and the partners from the Western Balkans. With a bottom-up approach, each of the five European vocational training institutes will work alongside an institution from the Western Balkans in order to accompany it in a process of development of technical, organizational, educational and managerial skills. The international networks EfVET and Xarxa will also support this important partnership.
The results of the project will be achieved thanks to the sharing of best practices of European schools in the fields of internationalization, mobility, dual learning, school and business cooperation, teacher training programs, entrepreneurship education, guidance and insertion into the labor market, as well as regarding non-formal and informal skills.
The capacity building activities are structured in four lots, each of which will address a specific work area.
- Lot 1 - Staff mobility and skills acquisition
- Lot 2 - Events and conferences
- Lot 3 - Pilot mobility of students
- Lot 4 - Networking
During its 36-month duration, the V2V pilot project will develop services and outcomes that can impact the entire vocational school community in the Western Balkans and third countries in the long term. All this aims to bring innovation and internationalization to European vocational schools, as well as to modernize the practices of the institutions.
