Exploring the Future of VET at the XIV Erasmus Coordinators Meeting in Malta

From October 16th to 18th, the XIV meeting of Erasmus coordinators from European Salesian centers was held in Malta. This meeting was structured through a training course attended by three members of our internationalization team of Salesianos Pamplona.

Under the theme “The Future of VET : A Sea of Opportunities,” the meeting focused on the challenges and perspectives that digitalization and innovation are bringing to this educational sector.

On the first day, the current projects underway in Europe were presented, with various interventions, among which the Minister of Tourism of Malta, the honorable Clayton Bartolo, and representatives of the European Vocational Training authorities stood out.

During the meeting, Josemi Puncel, coordinator of the project INFINITE at Salesianos Pamplona made a presentation to the participants of the event. Aims, calendar, main tasks and an introduction to Printing, flexible and organic electronics were included in the presentation. The theme created a lot of interest among the participants since many of them belong to VET schools where Graphics and electronics courses are taught.

The meeting concluded with a strategic planning session and the definition of the next steps for the development of European projects.

A total of almost 100 people took part in the meeting. Erasmus coordinators from schools in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Belgium, Slovakia, Hungary, Malta, and Germany had the opportunity to meet, receive training, and sow seeds for future projects.
