The Green StartUppers project aims to:
-
enhance the knowledge of VET providers/teachers on the role of entrepreneurship in the transition to the circular economy.
-
inspire VET students to cultivate an innovative green business mindset.
-
provide hands-on experience in green entrepreneurship activities, with an emphasis on innovation within the VET community.
The Green Innovators project is dedicated to nurturing green entrepreneurship competencies within the VET community, offering students the chance to acquire, apply, and actualize innovative, sustainable business concepts. Through the project's activities, our goal is to instigate a favorable environmental influence and instill a deep appreciation for sustainable development among the younger generation. Concurrently, we aspire to enrich the capabilities and expertise of VET educators and staff.
