Summary
European policy experimentations are transnational cooperation projects that involve developing, implementing and testing the relevance, effectiveness, potential impact and scalability of activities to address policy priorities in different countries.
By combining strategic leadership, methodological soundness, and a strong European dimension, they enable mutual learning and support evidence-based policy at European level.
Detailed Call Description
This topic aims to fund projects to test and pilot promising and innovative practices to improve basic skills in VET and providing opportunities to experiment with these approaches, taking account of the specificities of VET and its very diverse learners.
Projects under this priority will support the implementation of the VET Recommendation, the Herning Declaration and the Basic Skills Action Plan by strengthening the acquisition of one or more of the five basic skills in both school-based and work-based VET, including apprenticeships at EQF levels 3 and 4. They will test innovative and promising practices adapted to the specificities of VET and its diverse learning environments, diverse learner population and provide evidence, guidance and recommendations on how to better develop these skills into VET curricula and learning environments. Cooperation with local, regional and/or national public authorities is strongly encouraged to ensure a systemic approach through policy guidance, funding and strategic oversight.
