The demand for skills shifts towards more sophisticated tasks and technology pervades all aspects of life. Jobs increasingly involve analyzing and communicating information. Challenges in VET include strengthening efforts to promote creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship, and ensuring professional development opportunities for VET teachers and trainers. ICT skills will become more critical in terms of getting and keeping a job and in managing everyday life. “Qualifications should include foreign languages, and international cooperation between institutions should encourage new approaches to teaching and learning." (Bruges Communiqué).
Social economy is an important pillar of the European economy. More than 4.5% of the active EU population is employed there. At the same time the social economy sector is the main alternative for the development of many rural regions in Europe. But social entrepreneurs face challenges, among which lack of modern and easily accessible training resources.
The SET2CLIL project aim is to contribute to the development of entrepreneurial, language and digital skills in VET, to the enhancement of digital integration in VET and the promotion of easily accessible continuing VET, including for the rural areas, by creating three intellectual outputs: SET2CLIL Curriculum, e-repository and Trainer Guide.
To achieve the above, at least 750 participants will be involved among whom: would-be and acting social entrepreneurs, VET learners, NGOs and decision-makers in the social sector, VET providers, authorities and policy-makers, VET teachers and trainers (content and language teachers, bilingual teachers), teacher training institutes and providers.
Management, monitoring and evaluation activities, as well as a wide range of dissemination and exploitation efforts and events will accompany the SET2CLIL development process of the Curriculum, e-repository and Trainer Guide.
The SET2CLIL project is actually merging language teachers' expertise, social entrepreneurs' expertise and ICT expertise to achieve an important synergy: an innovative, open-access, easily-recognizable, learner-centered, time-saving, cross-curricula VET solution with value added. Such a solution is supposed to bring significant short and long term benefits within and outside the partnership, as well as on VET systems of the participating countries.
The project capacity to use and build on the project results after the end of the funding period is considerable. The outputs will be widely disseminated among the relevant targets and policy-makers and will be created in a way to allow for easy transferability and adaptability to different contexts and targets.
