A great experience in learning, working, trying out and presenting together After 18 intensive months, our G2VET project is coming to an end.

Experiencing Sustainability in Action
Company visits and case studies to foster sustainability competences The G2VET Project visits Finca Villacreces Winery As VET project consortium, we are driven by the question of how we can effectively build up sustainable competence and teach sustainability concepts and practices to our learners. While theoretical knowledge is important, there is no substitute for experiential learning that allows learners to […]
How Do You Build Sustainability in Your Organization?
This question may have popped up in your mind, how do you really make sustainability a concrete part of your organization. Sustainability is often embedded in an organization’s strategy.

Probably we need constant or at least frequent reminders about food waste. We at vocational schools educate future’s change-makers, who will hopefully live more sustainable way […]

Perhaps it was the scale of the issue, the multitude of possibilities for action and the knowledge of the widespread interest in the issue through various channels that made us […]
