Context/background of the projectThe impulse for this project came from the need to increase labour market potential of VET students of crafts and design. Among growing problems in Europe is unemployment of young people. Consequently, VET institutions have high responsibility in providing education and training that would meet the needs and trends of the society's labor market. Entrepreneurship and transnational networking, including distance team-working and ICT-based practices, are increasingly more important in creative industry labour market in addition to increasingly aiming to high standard professional skills. The project aims to contributing to the labour market adequacy of crafts and design education. Therefore, the project deals with increasing versatility of VET curricula in participating organisations, thus enhancing the quality of crafts and design education on local, regional, national and European level. Objectives– improving students' entrepreneurial skills for better labour market potential– improving students' classical and ICT based crafts and design skills– increasing participants' social competences to contribute to their cooperation and teamwork skills both in- and outside industry– enhancing participants' cultural and linguistic skills to raise their cultural awareness and competence to work on international level– sharing ideas and increasing EU partner network, thus raising the participating organisations' potential to provide competencies for better performance on EU labor market– modernizing pedagogy, raising quality and versatility of the participating organizations' VET curricula in terms of professional, digital and self-employment skills as well as knowledge on product design and cultural heritage. Tangible outcomes of the project will be – designed patterns inspired by cultural heritage or other culture-specific visual motives– deliverables (product prototypes) of different fields of crafts and design, representing regional cultural heritage or other visual features.Number and profile of participating organisationsAltogether, 5 organisations took part of the project: Tartu Art School (TAS), a vocational institution, Lybecker Institute of Crafts and Design (PRAVET), vocational studies, Instituto di Istruzione Superiore G.
