The Eramus ENNE+ project aims to respond to the challenges posed by the European Green Deal and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by promoting eco-innovation and digital transformation in VET through new approaches and teaching methodologies aimed at addressing Europe’s ecological challenges through digital solutions, with the ultimate goal of transforming the EU into a modern, competitive and resource-efficient economy.
According to the Eco-innovation Action Plan (Eco-AP) COM(2011) 899 final, “Eco-innovation” refers to any innovation that reduces impacts on the environment, increases resilience to environmental pressures or uses natural resources more efficiently.
Therefore, based on the inputs collected during focus groups organized during the initial phases of this project and thanks to the expertise of our technical partners, the technical partners of the project consortium have designed 10 ENNEPlus Challenge-Based Learning Scenarios (CBLS) to represent hypothetical cases, related to one or more Sustainable Development Goals of the UN Agenda 2030 and based on sustainability-related challenges representing different realities faced by society in the participating EU countries and to be addressed in the field of Eco-innovation, for the engagement of VET learners in the Eco-Digithon.
VET centres willing to candidate one or more teams for the participation in the Eco-Digithon are invited to identify the scenario that better applies to their eco-innovation projects or initiatives. Selected teams will use the scenarios as inspirational and guidance reference, adapting them to the features and requirements of local challenges they are addressing.
