    A Holistic Approach for Dual VET in a Just Green Transition

    DC dVET BarCamp 1 - Dual VET in Just Green Transition

    Organiser: DC dVET, Ökoinstitut

    In our first BarCamp of this series, we will in col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with the Öko-Institut shed light on the variety of justice dimen­si­ons and social aspects and discuss chal­lenges, oppor­tu­ni­ties and requi­re­ments that should be addressed in the context of dual VET for a suc­cessful just green tran­si­ti­on from various perspectives. 

    Laying the ground for a holistic approach for dual VET in the just green transition

    The program includes: 

    • Panel Discussion: Let’s look at the topic of dual VET from a just tran­si­ti­on per­spec­ti­ve and hear different per­spec­ti­ves – how do donors (BMZ), imple­ment­ers (GIZ), the industry and trade unions approach trans­for­ma­ti­ve skills deve­lo­p­ment for a just green transition. 
    • Exchange Sessions: Let’s bring in your own expe­ri­en­ces and discuss them with the others — join one of the sessions and discuss your per­spec­ti­ve with the donors, imple­ment­ers and repre­sen­ta­ti­ves from industry and trade unions. If you want to host your own session, please indicate this in the regi­stra­ti­on form – we are here to support you.

    The Making of Apprenticeships

    Divergence, Experience, and the Transformation of Vocational Education & Training

    Dietmar Frommberger & Christoph Porcher

    The conference explores the making and remaking of apprenticeships as a global historical phenomenon, tracing how pre-industrial craft training evolved under industrialisation, state-building, and changing educational ideas. It focuses both on institutional change and on the lived experiences of apprentices, masters, and other actors, and invites contributions from all periods and world regions.

    Learning Across Continents: Conversations in a divided world

    Topics:

    • How do we understand the role of VET in preparing young people for work when labour markets and workplaces are in flux nationally and internationally?
    • Is this changing the nature of VET and VET curricula? Is it raising new questions on work, labour markets and education? What is core to VET that is stable across different contexts?
    • Are systems looking more similar or more different from each other?
    • What are the main factors—such as workplace organisation, changing labour markets, changing enrolment in schools and universities, and the nature of economies that are influencing different aspects of VET provision—such as curriculum, governance, partnerships, enrollment patterns—in different countries?
    • How do we connect better as researchers, and use VET research to build connection?
