How can VET professionals be better prepared to create international mobility experiences that are accessible and inclusive for all learners? This is one of the areas addressed by the European project IDEAS - Inclusion, Diversity, and Equality in the VET System.
As part of WP2.2, the project partners have started developing a modular e‑learning programme for VET trainers, teachers and other professionals (VET TTTs) involved in the preparation and implementation of international mobility activities.
The programme aims to strengthen the knowledge and competences of VET professionals in planning and delivering high-quality and inclusive mobility experiences, with particular attention to providing appropriate support to learners with fewer opportunities.
Designed as a flexible, asynchronous and self-paced learning experience, the programme will apply a microlearning methodology, with content divided into shorter, clearly structured learning units. This approach will allow participants to develop new knowledge and skills in a practical and flexible way, according to their own schedules and professional needs.
The programme will address the key phases of international mobility - Preparation, Implementation and Follow-up - and provide practical guidance on how to make mobility experiences more accessible, inclusive and responsive to diverse learner needs.
The introduction of Open Badges is also planned, providing digital recognition of the knowledge and competences acquired through different parts of the programme.
The development of the modular e‑learning programme represents another important step for the IDEAS project towards strengthening the capacity of VET professionals and creating more inclusive international mobility opportunities in which every learner has the chance to participate on an equal basis.
More information about the programme, its content and participation opportunities will be shared as the project progresses.
