On 8 June 2023, from 14:00-16:00 CEST the webinar “Empowering Sustainability Competences: Utilising the GreenComp Framework for Training Programs” took place. The webinar addressed and showcased the potential of the GreenComp: the European sustainability competence framework when creating training programs in the VET sector.

During the event, participants reflected on the applicability of the GreenComp Framework during the initial phase of assessment of the needs of the potential learners and how to create a competency matrix for a new sustainability training program. Educators attending the webinar learned more about the practical use of the GreenComp framework and got inspiration from the presentation of two projects, CATALYST and Green Vineyards.

The webinar was organised by the IECE with the support of the ETF Community of Innovative Educators, in the framework of the European Week of Skills.
