Sustainable Energy Education

ongoing

SEED – Sustainable Energy EDucation realizes impact to global climate change prevention with excellent and innovative vocational education on solutions to become a fossil free energy continent. Challenges on transition develop rapidly, with a high demand for digital and green. Solutions are not yet clear, and technologies are constantly evolving. Well-equipped students, professionals and suitable labor capacity are needed for the tasks and challenges. Vocational education, as a driver for innovation and growth and agile in adapting to the labor market, has a heavy responsibility. In addition, the shortage in labor capacity forces us to develop new ways of working and educating. SEEDs partners (14) and associate partners (23) are VET providers EQF level 2-7, representatives from regional skills ecosystems and national agenda-setting stakeholders. With the objectives to prepare learners, students and professionals with skills and competences for the future, to empower regional innovation based on regional needs and to scale up and promote work-based education, they will establish an international learning community and COVES in five regions. Defined are 33 deliverables, benefiting educational staff, learners and stakeholders in workshops, good practices, international conferences and a learning platform that benefits the VET sector and regional stakeholders in Europe. The result is regional growing cooperation on vocational excellence in five regions, a shared implemented vision on regional learning, transnational learning and adapting to the labor market, development and exchange of good practices and tools, innovative approaches for learning with impact and an international community on vocational excellence dedicated to sustainable energy. Educational providers, working professionals, policymakers, from different professions and disciplines, will experience how to find answers while co-creating on the challenges ahead. Therefore, the SEED community is needed.
