Digital Toolkit for Green Skills

This toolkit provides a set of tools, materials, and resources that will enable VET maritime teachers and VET maritime schools to integrate, explore, and develop green and sustainable skills at the macro level (school level) and micro level (classroom/student level).

This digital tool will provide theoretical information and didactic digital materials that can be used by teachers and school leaders in their educational institutions to teach Green Skills to instructors/trainers and students.

In terms of content, this document is based on a set of Green Skills and Competencies identified by the Consortium, which is composed of professionals in the field. However, the content and competencies will also take into account existing resources and projects related to sustainability, such as Green Comp, ESCO, SKILLSEA. Thus, the document will present a series of lesson plans and projects/activities that can be implemented in schools and classrooms based on each defined skill.

As this digital toolkit for green skills aims to promote the attractiveness of  blue careers both among both VET students (future maritime/blue professionals) and regular pathways students, a list of occupations related to the maritime education pathway is presented in this document.

Following this line, the toolkit will also provide a set of best practices and additional resources that can be useful for teachers and school leaders to get more information about some important topics that can be useful in the maritime field.

It is important to emphasize that all the content presented in the toolkit will take into account the specific offer of the partner VET schools as well as  the levels of EQF 4 and 5 levels: Fisheries, Maritime Transport, Port and Shipping Management, Marine Engineering. Moreover, all content will be translated into Portuguese, Italian, English, Spanish and German and will be available on the project website at no additional cost.
