The Agenda 2030 and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (SDG), the UNESCO World Action Program (WAP), EU Education Area 2025, the National Action Plan (NAP) and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) have a great influence on the shaping of the excellent places of learning for vocational education in Europe! In the future, a globally competitive European economy will essentially be characterized by excellent sustainability-oriented skilled training institutions, including vocational schools. Europe's dual vocational training must be more digital and sustainable and of a very high (excellent) quality so that EU skilled workers with high employment opportunities (minimized risk of unemployment) as service providers can lead a self-determined and secure life. This individual security of life and the consequent relief of social welfare systems contribute significantly to the social stability of Europe. The vocational training network of VET practitioners enables systematic dialogue on organizational structures, sustainability-oriented learning location management, ESD project management, building equipment and material resources, teacher training, digital support systems (in nursing and EGovernance) and necessary administrative improvements through the establishment of state and federal institutes of Vocational Education and their networking throughout Europe. The jointly developed reference framework for the design of digitally supported and sustainability-oriented centers of excellence in VET will promote the further development of national VET systems and the further harmonization of European VET.
The VET network of VET practitioners facilitated a systematic dialogue on organisational structures and sustainability-oriented learning location management and ESD project management, building and material equipment, teacher training and further training as well as digital support systems (in the nursing professions and in e-governance) and necessary administrative improvements through the Europe-wide establishment of state and federal institutes of VET and their stronger networking. The jointly developed reference framework for the design of digitally supported and sustainability-oriented VET centres of excellence will promote the further development of national VET systems and the further harmonisation of European VET. The project also served to strengthen the joint network and is the starting point for further constructive cooperation.
The 2030 Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, the UNESCO World Action Programme (WAP), EU Education Area 2025, the German Action Plan (NAP) "Education for Sustainable Development" (ESD) have an impact on the design of excellent learning venues for vocational education and training in Europe. In the future, a globally competitive European economy will be essentially shaped by excellent sustainability-oriented training places for skilled workers, i.e. also vocational schools. Vocational education and training institutionalised in Europe must be more digital and sustainability-oriented and of very high quality, so that EU skilled workers with high employment opportunities can lead a self-determined secure life as service providers. This individual life security and the associated relief for the social systems contributes significantly to the social stability of Europe. The project has intensified and strengthened the cooperation between the long-term partners of BBS 1 Uelzen with the aim of making vocational education and training sustainable and excellent. Sustainability and digitalisation are central components of excellent vocational education and training in Europe.
