"The project ""EDU4Events - Vocational Training in Transition - Developments and Potentials for the Event Industry"" aims to promote and develop work-based learning in all its forms in a well established consortium and in the event industry. The international partnership follows the European Vision to support the acceptance and implementation of innovative approaches applying digital technologies for teaching and learning. It contributes to addressing the major pan-European challenges in VET and the objectives of the Europe 2020 education strategy, in particular for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and to achieving the key objectives in education, training and employment. The project also supports the European flagship initiatives and ""Agenda for New Skills and Jobs"". In more concrete terms, the project contributes to the development of vocational training in the field of event technology. The current COVID-19 crisis has locked the events industry and at the same time accelerated the trend towards digital teaching. While the changeover has been implemented quickly and largely successfully in universities and schools of basic education, the vocational and especially the adult education sector is lagging massively behind. For example, the seamless provision of security-related further training in the phase of ""contact avoidance"" during the COVID 19 crisis was (or still is) no longer guaranteed. A core question the project discusses will be: ""How can the initial and continuing training of key vocational qualifications be provided in a crisis-proof manner? Which cross-disciplinary skills and competences have to be strengthened specifically for the target groups learners, teachers and educational organisations? In order to provide the required skills and competences in vocational and adult education and in the economy, the actors like teachers and trainers request to get access to specialist sharing their well developed competences and also to efficient systems towards digital education. Through the transnational and professional composition and interdisciplinary cooperation within this project, the consortium wants to discuss the corresponding modernisation and further development using the example of current education and training programmes, in the context of the international recognition of informal and non-formal competences and skills, taking into account existing transparency systems and the European Qualifications Framework. The results from the successful ERASMUSplus projects (e.g. the ECVAET series, TeBeVAT series, ETTE, LAAR, DTW, OiRA, TALQ, etc.) will be discussed within the consortium's circle of experts and against the background of the new challenges for vocational education and training and in particular for the event industry. A catalogue of possible directions for the development of international, continuing vocational education and training in event technology and according to the main topics for the future will be developed. Studies on success factors, formation of country-specific aspects, common qualification level, influencing factors, etc. will be included in the discussion process. A possible direction could be to point out those success factors and possibilities that a master craftsman training in event technology on the basis of distance training and the qualification with international recognition (e.g. between AT/DE/CH/FL) can lead to. Within the framework of three transnational partner meetings with accompanying virtual conferences, seminars (seminars to support learning from each other / from the persons involved) will be conducted and recorded in so-called ""mutual learning"". In all expert discussions, external experts with the respective expertise on the seminar topic are also involved. At the end of the project, the minutes of the working sessions will be summarized in a report, which will be disseminated accordingly.This project serves in particular to develop several sustainable concepts for further vocational training in the industry shaken by the COVID 19 crisis and to design ways out of the current constriction. The joint further work in the European vocational training topics in event technology is also a desirable result of the consortium partners."
