    EXPECT — Sustainable voca­tio­nal education and training in the Netherlands

    At the end of the Erasmus+ project EXPECT, the consortium members met in the south of the Netherlands.

    On 15 and 16 June 2023, the last Peer Learning Activity (PLA) took place in the pic­tures­que town of s’Hertogenbosch at the voca­tio­nal school “Koning Willem I College”, which has about 17,000 students and ten training areas. This voca­tio­nal training insti­tu­ti­on is already very advanced in the imple­men­ta­ti­on of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and even employs its own sus­taina­bi­li­ty teacher. The building is heated with heat pumps, has triple-glazed windows for better insu­la­ti­on, has an air recovery system, uses water in a sus­tainable way and offers organic products in the school canteen. In addition to an intro­duc­tion to the Dutch voca­tio­nal education system and a guided tour of the school, the par­ti­ci­pan­ts visited, among other things, the “Talent Studio”, where mul­ti­di­sci­pli­na­ry teams of students work in a special project for a fortnight a year on tasks set by companies. The open class system with the abolition of frontal teaching and the switch to project work also attracted a lot of interest. More infor­ma­ti­on can be found in the last Newsletter No. 8.
