The vocational education systems of Europe are moving steadily from a school-based system towards a work-based learning system which is considered more efficient and more able to equip the youth with job-relevant skills.
The kick-off meeting of the #PlayEurope project has been organised in Catania at the beginning of November 2017. The meeting was hosted by the coordinator of the project VITECO.The project partners had the chance to get to know each other and discuss about the project deliverables, the project strategies, the dissemination and evaluation of the project results.
We shared an excellent experience during the training of the European Erasmus+ project From Peer to Peer that took place in Leuven, Belgium from September 30th to October 8th of 2017. During those nine days organized by Melanie Van Oort, we exchanged, in a very effective and lively way, educational methodologies that focused on better education from the point of view of social inclusion, combating discrimination, segregation and bullying.
