TEACH4SD is oriented towards the ambitions put forward by the European Green Deal on tackling climate and environmental-related challenges. The objective of TEACH4SD is to mobilize industry, research and innovation capacities and link them in new and innovative ways to the education and training sector. For sustainability transitions to become successful, the guiding principle for TEACH4SD is to empower and educate teachers to take on a leading role as change-makers and thereby contributing to the European ambition of a socially fair and just green transition. TEACH4SD will launch five regional Centres of Vocational Excellence each responding to the needs and challenges of one of five sectors forming part of the backbone of the European labour market: health, trade, entrepreneurship, clothing & textiles, and construction. The link between the five CoVEs consists of a European Platform of Centre of Vocational Excellence containing a Digital Hub for collaboration, networking and mobility. Externally, the Digital Hub makes available the sustainability competences by setting up a Digital ESD Academy for the five CoVEs to activate education and training, promote re- and upskilling as well as facilitate exchange of best and next practices in EU networks. These regional and digital hubs of sustainability knowledge and its outreach to 400 teachers will become a tool to shape the future skills governance systems by activating and moving regional development strategies forward in close collaboration with TEACH4SDs five labour market sectors. The TEACH4SD approach will empower teachers and youth in the green transition and shape an ESD movement for schools in Europe through the regional-anchored knowledge hubs and the European Digital Hub offering upskilling activities and continued education. TEACH4SD consists of 16 partners from five countries spanning EQF level 3-8 as well as industry and policy representatives.
