About the Project

DGvet-30

The DigitalGreenConsumption-30 project is a collaborative initiative under the Erasmus+ KA220-VET program, designed to address the pressing challenges of climate change while fostering innovation in vocational education and training (VET).

The project aligns with the European Union's goals to reduce CO2 emissions by 55% and energy consumption by 11.7% by 2030. Through innovative educational strategies and technological integration, DGvet-30 aims to prepare students and educators for the demands of a green and digital economy.

Objectives

The project's main objectives

  • Promoting sustainable practices in vocational education to reduce CO2 emissions and energy consumption.

  • Enhancing the digitalization of VET schools to enable better monitoring of energy consumption and production.

  • Fostering awareness of climate change and sustainable practices among students and educators.

  • Encouraging the participation of women in vocational training, particularly in industrial and technological fields.

  • Strengthening the alignment of VET programs with labor market needs, particularly in the renewable energy sector.

Implementation

DGvet-30 will implement a diverse range of activities

  • Creating and integrating didactic units focused on energy efficiency and sustainable practices.

  • Setting up monitoring systems in partner schools to track energy usage and production.

  • Organizing student exchanges, expert talks, and research interviews to deepen understanding of sustainability issues.

  • Establishing a collaborative platform for sharing best practices and project outcomes.

  • Conducting public presentations to disseminate results and raise community awareness.

Expected Results and Impact

The project expects to achieve concrete outcomes

  • Development of new training materials on green and digital skills.

  • Enhanced energy efficiency and reduced emissions in participating schools.

  • Increased student and teacher competence in energy monitoring and sustainable practices.
