About Us
Our Vision
This new vision empowers the use of digital tools for learning and training in the VET system.
COVID 19
Europe is facing its greatest threat since World War II. The COVID19 outbreak is triggering unprecedented social & economic consequences.
We are faced with a ‘new normal’ a previously unfamiliar or ‘atypical situation that has become standard, usual or expected’, bringing established practices into question. The integration of digital tools and immediate transfer to distance training and learning has caught in surprise the centres of Vocational education and training. It is obvious that the VET system has suffered because of not only the improper preparation of the VET providers but also the lack of the materials has played an important role.
Needs Analysis Survey
More than 50 teachers of Wellness and Cosmetology VET courses replied to the survey from all participating countries: This internal research has shown that 80% of activities in Wellness courses have turned online without proper digital materials. 75% of the teachers from partner and applicant organisations have pointed out the lack of digital materials especially in the field of Wellness and Cosmetology courses and the need of interactive, inclusive and free access online sources for both teacher and learners. Another 95% of the participating teachers have selected the fact that it has been their first experience in distance teaching, and that many of them have never used any European platform or portal for searching teaching materials. 44% of them think that teachers don’t have proper preparation to teach online and use distance learning materials.
EU Member
The pandemic has been accompanied by a rise in nationalist sentiments in EU member countries. It has re-ignited debates about national-versus-European identity. The
negative impacts of these changes have had disproportionate effects on professional courses such as Wellness and Cosmetology, with the result that teachers from these courses are facing the real need of digital, interactive and user-friendly materials for better delivering of the courses. As Cedefop reports ‘Digital gap during COVID-19 for VET learners is at risk in Europe.
Digital Transformation
The transformation of digital materials can bring to Wellness and Cosmetology VET sectors and these learning materials create a ‘win-win’ scenario where each partner brings its competences & knowledge that could benefit the others, demonstrating the potential added-value of the project. This project provide an innovative solutions and digitalization in VET system.
