    EXPECT — Sustainable voca­tio­nal education and training in Great Britain

    The fourth Peer Learning Activity (PLA) of the Erasmus+ project EXPECT took place in Brighton, England, after a long COVID break.

    Project partners met at Plumpton College, the second largest training insti­tu­ti­on in England for higher voca­tio­nal education. The par­ti­ci­pan­ts received an overview of the English (voca­tio­nal) education system and the sus­taina­bi­li­ty stra­te­gies of Plumpton College as well as a guided tour of the premises. Among other things, the partners were also informed about the joint project “Greener Sussex”, which involves 14 colleges in the region and includes working groups on climate change awareness (carbon literacy), electric vehicle tech­no­lo­gy, land manage­ment, alter­na­ti­ve energy, and decar­bo­ni­sa­ti­on. Representatives of the local aut­ho­ri­ties as well as other voca­tio­nal schools reported on their acti­vi­ties in the field of education for sus­tainable deve­lo­p­ment and presented examples.
