Why is the resource useful for VET actors?

This resource is useful for VET actors because it offers ready-to-use, theme-based tools and activities that can easily be adapted for vocational education settings, particularly in sustainability, environmental management and green skills training. It includes practical lesson plans, surveys, and project ideas that support experiential learning and can help VET learners develop competencies in climate action, resource efficiency, biodiversity, and global citizenship. The materials also encourage student-led action and reflection, which are valuable for project-based VET modules.
