Pole Position for Green Skills: Your Erasmus+ pit stop in Spielberg
Main Info
TCA Description
This contact seminar brings together Erasmus+ VET project coordinators to foster networks and develop future mobility projects for learners and staff, with a special focus on apprenticeship training and work-based learning. The key theme is Green Skills - the sustainable competencies that are becoming increasingly vital in VET.
As key drivers of the transition to a sustainable economy, Green Skills align with EU priorities such as the European Green Deal and the EU Skills Agenda, as well as global objectives like the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In Vocational Education and Training, these skills are essential for equipping professionals and young people with the expertise needed to meet the evolving demands of the labor market, enabling businesses and industries to adapt to and actively support the EU’s sustainability goals.
Against the dynamic backdrop of the Red Bull Ring, where innovation meets sustainability, this seminar will provide expert insights, showcase best practices, and foster interactive discussions. Together, we will explore how Erasmus+ can drive the development of Green Skills, enhance environmental awareness, and strengthen the role of international mobility in promoting sustainable skills.
- Strengthen networks and partnerships for future Erasmus+ VET mobility projects.
- Enhance understanding of Green Skills in the sustainable transformation of VET.
- Share best practices on integrating sustainability into apprenticeship training and work-based learning.
- Promote international mobility as a key driver of sustainability in VET through Erasmus+ projects.
The seminar will take place primarily in Spielberg, at the Red Bull Ring, with participants staying at Schloss Gabelhofen for three nights, from April 27 to April 30. Accommodation costs for 3 nights are fully covered by the Austrian National Agency.
For travel, participants can arrive via Graz Airport (GRZ), which is approximately 85 km from Spielberg, or Vienna International Airport (VIE), located 200 km away. From both cities, train connections are available to Knittelfeld, the nearest railway station.
