Implementation period: 01.05.2022 – 30.04.2024
Assistance program: ERASMUS+
Project number: 2021-2-PL01-KA220-VET-000050783

Project description:

MET-VET will support the greening process and wider European environmental and sustainability targets and objectives by developing an innovative set of tools which support environmental awareness through a broader metacognitive knowledge and skill among VET learners, and their educators to support the role of VET centres as hugely influential educators as Europe embarks on a digital and environmental shift. Set within this context, this project will facilitate the adoption of environmental metacognition strategies, improve the environmental metacognitive abilities and positive mindset towards lifelong learning, upskill VET practitioners with knowledge of environmental metacognitive theories to provide support and the skills to train learners to adopt metacognition and raise the profile of environmental metacognitive skills as a core part of VET provision at EU and national level.

  • VET learners engaged in digital, distance and online learning
  • VET providers and practitioners

Project Results:
