EXPECT — Sustainable Vocational Education and Training in Latvia

After another peer learning activity, the 4th newsletter of the Erasmus+ project EXPECT - Exchanges of Practices in Education for Climate Targets has been published.

From 4 to 5 April 2022, the fourth project meeting took place as a Peer Learning Activity (PLA) in Riga. The aim of the EXPECT project is to develop new edu­ca­tio­nal pathways for STEM voca­tio­nal education in order to implement the European Commission’s climate targets and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). During the meeting, the Latvian voca­tio­nal education system and the Latvian “Eco School Programme” were presented, among others. The latter imple­ments various projects in Latvian schools to improve awareness and under­stan­ding of the circular economy. Furthermore, the acti­vi­ties of WWF Latvia in the field of envi­ron­men­tal education and sus­tainable projects of voca­tio­nal school students and company repre­sen­ta­ti­ves were presented. Details can be found in the attached 4th EXPECT newsletter.
