SUSFUR – Deliverable D2.2: VET Providers Training Programme

This Training programme outlines a learning intervention that SUSFUR consortium determines is
necessary to support new staff, to enable existing staff performance or to accompany the introduction
of an unfamiliar process related to sustainable furniture production and use of reclaimed wood in
Western Balkan.

The document follows the training requirements outlined in the project proposal and builds learning
content based on needs identified on the Research report document (D2.1).
This format is intended for vocational education and training (VET) professionals and stakeholders
engaged in the SUSFUR project. It provides a structured approach to understanding how training
requirements in sustainable furniture production—particularly in the context of circular economy
practices—will be addressed and how learning outcomes will be achieved. This document represents
the second phase of the SUSFUR learning intervention, supporting capacity building among VET
providers and learners across the Western Balkan region.

The programme covered five modules: sustainable material sourcing, design for sustainability,
sustainable manufacturing processes, technological advancements, and furniture waste management.
Participants gained hands‑on experience by creating prototypes from reclaimed wood and by visiting
best‑practice sites (the Ljubljana Reuse Center and the company M SORA). The above-mentioned
modules were delivered by different experts and approached from various professional perspectives.
The training materials are provided in APPENDIX B of this document and are also available on the
project website.
