Common Challenges European VET Teachers as Innovators Are Facing and Their Impact on Academic VET Teacher Education

Considering the many challenges VET educators face, VET TE providers need to find answers on how to best design their education and training. The network “VETteach” aims at sharing good practice on current and future requirements of VET TE in the development and application of curricula, pedagogical and didactical approaches.

The project partners of VETteach are from six European countries. All of them work in universities which have a long tradition as VET TE providers, and most of them are responsible for the education and training of future VET educators at their Universities. The contribution offers an insight in the project aims and deepens findings from an exchange workshop that focused on fostering civic engagement and self-reflexivity among teachers in December 2020.
