People working together

The GREEN LABS project aims to support and stimulate the green transition, by promoting innovation and greening of VET systems, through internationalization, exchange of practices and knowledge sharing among partners, in line with the 2020 Osnabrück Declaration on Vocational Education and Training for Sustainable Competitiveness, Social Equity and Resilience . 

Project objectives

The project aims to promote the strengthening of a European education area, while contributing to strengthening skills for sustainable development: 

➡ Co-creation of a European network of local laboratories ( living labs ) aimed at stimulating the green transition and the development of territorial initiatives and projects. 

➡ Design and development of a new professional training program for facilitators/managers of these living laboratories (called “green innovation managers – GIM”), capable of acting as facilitators of the green transition.

➡ Steering of the living laboratories created, thanks to the involvement of the main public and private actors and the direct commitment of trained green innovation facilitators/managers. 

➡ Implementation of a web portal for the international network of living laboratories, development and testing of a set of support services for stakeholders. 

➡ Implementation of targeted, multi-channel awareness campaigns to raise broad awareness among all stakeholders. 

The partnership was formed based on complementarity and expertise. It consists of seven organizations in six different countries (FR, IT, GR, PT, DE, RS) and includes: two vocational training centers in France and Italy, one municipality in Portugal, one association in Greece, one cooperative and one third-place in France, and one youth organization in Serbia. 

Expected results

➡ Co-creation of a European network of local laboratories aimed at stimulating the green transition.

➡ Design and development of a new professional training program for green innovation managers, capable of playing the role of facilitator to stimulate the green transition. 

➡ Implementation of targeted multi-channel awareness campaigns and extensive multi-stakeholder awareness campaigns during the project duration and with a view to sustainability and subsequent exploitation.
