Terrinov aims to strengthen inclusion, diversity, social innovation, and the employability of young people and adults in vocational education and training through transnational cooperation and the development of collective territorial skills. The project seeks to create an educational environment that is accessible to all, promoting active participation from its target audiences, including those facing social, economic, or cultural challenges. Partnerships forged among project partners and relevant institutions have enabled the exchange of best practices and experiences, while respecting local specificities. The project also mobilises local stakeholders—training organisations, businesses, local authorities, and associations—to design integration pathways tailored to labor market needs, encouraging social innovation and collective intelligence. Terrinov’s objective is to offer its target groups—unemployed young people and adults—a better outlook by advancing diversity, fostering innovation in vocational training, strengthening territorial connections, and showcasing collective skills for sustainable local and European intersectoral development.
Mission Locale Picardie Maritime decided to respond to the KA220 VET call with its project Terrinov, in order to address several crucial needs identified in the territories of the project partners: the lack of innovative support for the professional integration of young people and adults, the necessity to increase the impact and attractiveness of territories in terms of social innovation, and the need to develop genuine transnational partnerships to pool expertise and share good practices. The main target groups are young people and adults in undergoing integration, people distant from employment, women, people with disabilities, and those with entrepreneurial projects. The project also aims to propose an alternative and collaborative support model, rooted in local dynamics and transferable at the European level. Finally, Terrinov responds to the need to capitalise on past successes, to actively involve beneficiaries in actions through participatory committees, and to integrate digital tools to facilitate cooperation and inclusion. This application therefore reflects a strong commitment to innovation, transnational cooperation, and the revitalisation of territories.
