Video Supported Vocational Education and Training
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2019 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The Internet provides an exponentially growing number of freely accessible vocational training material in different topics and fields of practice. But the material is widely spread, typically only perceived by insiders on a local level and there is no structure that adequately supports international collaboration among the stakeholders. To turn information into knowledge and knowledge into action, the main challenge remains to validate the data we are receiving over the internet, to contextualise and communicate it.The VIVET will be the first cross-sectoral repository collecting and delivering vocational videos and other electronic training resources in many languages, from all countries in Europe and beyond. The repository will collect videos and training material from different sources across the internet, and will process this information by combining elements of human expertise with the most relevant, cutting-edge technologies.Users can search the database according to various criteria: Theme, trade, country, language etc. Additionally, they can explore trade sections in order to find the most relevant videos and electronic training material related to specific themes.Based on the repository, the project will provide a collaborative learning platform allowing users to work directly online. Community-oriented technical features will enable and encourage them to discuss the material and get in contact with each other. While the repository will be open for all trades and for everyone interested, the consortium will begin by focusing its activities on a defined target group and four pilot trades: 1.) Health Care and Geriatric Care, 2.) IT-Cyber Security, 3.) Organic Agriculture, 4.) Environment Protection. Our first users will be teachers and students with a refugee status as they can especially benefit from the advantages of VIVET, helping them to gain skills and knowledge to access the European work market. Using the VIVET learning platform and its content, we will develop learning modules adapted to the specific needs of refugees and train them in blended courses in Italy, Bulgaria, Spain and Germany. Once implemented, the experiences with the pilot will be evaluated and further trade sections will be introduced. The VIVET will facilitate access to free training resources not only for students and teachers, but also for the general public. For individuals, it will provide career orientation and skills in career self-management and deliver new methods and approaches in vocational training and lifelong learning for better employment opportunities. The platform will foster international collaboration, mutual exchange of ideas and knowledge, and thus help best practices to circulate much faster. European enterprises and entrepreneurs will benefit greatly from an interactive platform furthering and promoting innovation in vocational education and training.The project will be implemented by a transnational consortium of partners from Bulgaria, Italy, Spain and Germany, all of whom have extensive experiences in vocational training. In the VIVET, they see a great opportunity to internationalise their activities and to address the digital challenge about to change the VET-sector fundamentally, in the most effective and offensive way. Being the initiators of such an important project they will be playing a leading role in fostering innovative solutions for vocational education and training in Europe.Establishing the VIVET is a collaborative venture. The consortium is explicitly inviting other initiatives, particularly other EU funded projects, organisations, institutions and companies to participate in extending the project by registering their vocational videos or other electronic training material in the database, and by creating exciting themed sites or connecting their own services with the project, and thus increasing their own impact on the world of international VET.Beyond the project phase the VIVET will extend its activities to all trades, countries and languages. Having started with refugees as the first main target group, the consortium will search for partners in developing countries in order to increase the educational level in areas that suffer insufficient educational infrastructure.
