What's next?
Digital final event and project presentation.
Thursday, June 02, 2022 at 1:30 pm.
Dear Sir or Madam,
The Erasmus+ project Connecting Vocational Education and Training for the European Digital Single Market (Connecting EU) is nearing completion.
The interdisciplinary, intercultural project, in which six EU partner schools from the vocational training areas of engineering, information and communication technology (ICT) and business and administration are working together, is funded by Erasmus+, the EU programme for the promotion of education, training, youth and sport in Europe.
Together with our cooperation partners from Austria, Spain, Belgium, Finland and the Czech Republic, we have dedicated ourselves over the past three years to preparing students for the digital single market on the basis of practical experience. Improving digital competencies and teaching ICT skills also played a central role in this. In this way, teaching and learning processes were to be adapted to future technological, economic, ecological and social challenges posed by Europeanisation and globalization.
To give you an impression of the project work and the results, we would like to take this opportunity to invite you to the digital final event and project presentation on Thursday, June 02, 2022 at 1:30 pm. Since participants and attendees from different countries will be involved in the presentation, the approximately one-hour event will be held in English.
Please respond via the QR code if you are able to attend the event.
Yours sincerely
