Description
The course is drawn mainly from the experiences of the ERASMUS+ Partnership “G2VET” and the project resources “Lifehacks”, “Blog” and “Assessing Sustainability Competence in VET” as primary content sources. Over four modules, you’ll become familiar with the foundations of sustainability, exploring the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the EU Green COMP framework. You’ll gain an understanding of sustainability competences as outlined by EU Green Comp, understanding the creative presentation with bees, blossoms, pollen, and honeycombs to make the competence areas accessible and memorable. The course also goes beyond theory focussing on practical methods for training and evaluating sustainable competences, ensuring your students not only learn about sustainability but can demonstrate their competences. The final module brings it all together, focussing on implementation in your teaching environment, by showing materials and good practices from the G2VET Project.
