#GetInvolved project got honored

Our Erasmus+ project to promote democracy and civic engagement in vocational education and training, which was completed in 2023, was recognised as good practice.

The National Agencies for Erasmus+ award a Good Practice label to par­ti­cu­lar­ly suc­cessful projects. In 2023, this included our #GetInvolved project, which was reco­g­nis­ed by the German national agency (NABIBB). Against the backdrop of incre­a­sing anti-demo­cra­tic ten­den­ci­es, the project set itself the goal of streng­thening young people’s awareness of democracy in voca­tio­nal education and training and high­light­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties of par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on and enga­ge­ment. To this end, various acti­vi­ties were carried out and numerous materials developed, from a train-the-trainer workshop, a handbook for school com­pe­ti­ti­ons and a self-moni­to­ring tool to a concept for a label for orga­ni­sa­ti­ons that are par­ti­cu­lar­ly committed to demo­cra­tic skills and civic enga­ge­ment. The latter is also the starting point for possible follow-up activities.

All project materials can be found here.
