Hello everyone, it is a pleasure to welcome you to this private group designed to help VET teams whose project ideas are related to this scenario, allowing them to receive the necessary support to develop their idea. In this group, if you are part of a VET Team, you will have direct assistance from:

• The representative of the Technical Partners of the ENNEPlus project, moderator of the scenario, whose organizations or companies have extensive professional experience related to the proposed scenario.

• The role models associated with this scenario, whose professional background and experience can provide different perspectives and key ideas.

• Some OER authors who can offer a more comprehensive view of the educational resources they have contributed to the scenario and provide advice on how these could be useful for the different related projects.

• The mentors, individuals who have joined the scenario to share their knowledge and professional experience, giving a boost to all related projects.

In this scenario, I will be the primary point of reference as the representative of one of the Technical Partners and the main moderator of the scenario. Let me introduce myself: my name is Rita Barros Silva, and as a representative of APEMETA – Portuguese Association of Enviromental Technologies Companies, a key actor within the Environemtal sector and its support also through European projects and a partner in the Erasmus ENNEPlus project.

I will support and guide you as the moderator of this group in developing your project idea. I will help you with any questions that may arise, provide different perspectives, and offer ideas that can add value and enhance the final solution you reach as a team. Additionally, I can guide you on how to use the available tools and whom you can contact for further mentorship, open debates, and present challenges that will help you consider various aspects when developing a strong project, etc.

To facilitate this, both teachers and students (with their teacher’s permission) can leave more generic questions and doubts in the Activity tab, request mentorship or consult any Technical Partner, Role Model, OER author, or mentor involved in the scenario through the private chat enabled for this group in “Messages” or by sending me a direct private message (you can do this through the chat, by searching for my profile and selecting “Private Message”).

Additionally, all individuals interested in the same topic presented in the scenario who wish to share their experience and knowledge, contribute with resources, open discussions, share related anedoctes, upload audiovisual materials related to the identified problem and/or possible solutions, etc., can be part of the group and use the Activity or Documents tab!

I hope you all enjoy this collaborative space!
