Skills Mag 2040

In an innovative Erasmus+ project, we are focussing on the future of CVET using new methods. The result, a magazine full of fictional stories, stimulates debate.

In the Into-CVET 2040 project, design fiction was used as a com­ple­men­ta­ry per­spec­ti­ve to tra­di­tio­nal fore­ca­sting approa­ches in order to think ahead to upcoming changes. It is neither about pre­dic­ting the future nor outlining a specific path. The result is a unique edition of Skills Mag that invites you to immerse yourself in imaginary visions of the future of CVET in Europe and takes you on a fic­tion­a­li­sed vision of the year 2040.

Embark on a journey 15 years into the future and discover realistic and immersive jour­na­li­stic nar­ra­ti­ves that — com­ple­te­ly fictional — encourage reflec­tion and dis­cus­sion. Which aspects open up new pos­si­bi­li­ties? Which per­spec­ti­ves are more worrying? Which chal­lenges should provoke coll­ec­ti­ve vigilance?

The magazine is rounded off by a practical section with back­ground infor­ma­ti­on on the project and ins­truc­tions on how to initiate and moderate (group) dis­cus­sions on the topic.
