The “Design Together” initiative stands at the forefront of reimagining Vocational Education and Training (VET) to meet the ever-evolving demands of our global labor market. Born from the collective vision of experts in Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa, our project is a beacon of innovation, aiming to harmonize VET curricula with the realities of the digital age and market needs.
At the heart of “Design Together” lies a commitment to excellence, driven by a consortium of seasoned VET professionals. Together, we’re not just bridging geographical distances; we’re weaving a tapestry of shared knowledge, best practices, and groundbreaking activities. Our mission is clear: to equip VET staff and trainers with the tools to design curricula that resonate with the pulse of the modern workplace.
Through “Design Together,” we envision a world where VET is synonymous with adaptability, relevance, and innovation.
Our multifaceted approach focuses on:
Elevating the digital and pedagogical prowess of VET professionals
Crafting a cohesive blueprint for curriculum development that echoes the voice of the labor market
Introducing contemporary educational strategies tailored to real-world applications
Fostering a vibrant exchange of cultures and ideas between Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa
Building networks that thrive on the exchange of exemplary practices among VET providers
“Design Together” is more than a project; it’s a movement towards a future where education and employment are seamlessly aligned. As we embark on this path, we invite you to explore, engage, and contribute to a venture that promises to reshape the landscape of vocational training for generations to come.
The “Design Together” consortium is a vibrant community of partners from across Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa,
each bringing a wealth of experience and expertise in VET.
