objectives of the WOVEN project

Building opportunities for a more resilient future

WOVEN was founded with a clear purpose: to equip vocational training teachers and students to tackle the challenges of climate change and turn them into opportunities for development in rural communities.

Through educational innovation, entrepreneurship and international collaboration, the project promotes new skills that help to build more sustainable, inclusive and future-proof communities.

Project objectives

WOVEN works to make a real difference to education and employment through four main objectives:

To improve understanding of the GreenComp framework

We are introducing the European framework of competences for sustainability (GreenComp) to vocational education and training teachers through creative, digital and innovative methodologies that facilitate its application in the classroom.

Adapting Vocational Training to Climate Challenges

We are promoting an education system that is more closely aligned with the new professions related to adapting to climate change and protecting the most vulnerable rural communities.

To promote new employment opportunities

We promote the creation of professional networks that link education, entrepreneurship and the local area to improve employability and facilitate new opportunities for professional development.

Work packages

The project’s lines of action

To achieve these objectives, WOVEN has identified five areas of work that form the framework for all the project’s activities.

WP1 · Project management

International coordination, planning, monitoring and evaluation to ensure that all activities are carried out correctly.

WP2 · GreenComp training materials and training

Design of the handbook, toolkit and educational resources to help teachers incorporate sustainability skills into the classroom.

WP3 · Study and pilot project

Research into new career opportunities related to climate change adaptation and the validation of methodologies through pilot projects.

WP4 · Professional network for climate adaptation

To create an international community that brings together educational institutions, teachers, students and professionals committed to the sustainable development of rural areas.

WP5 · From the classroom to action

Practical application of the knowledge acquired, enabling students to take part in real-world experiences and develop professional skills linked to sustainability.

Together we are building the future

Each work package contributes to the same objective: to create an education system that is more closely aligned with the region’s real needs and to prepare the next generations to lead the transition towards more resilient communities.
