This month, the U2VET consortium gathered in Athens for a productive two-day study visit focused on discussing inclusion and education. Our program was packed with insightful sessions, including strategies for teaching Greek as a second language to refugees and migrants. We also delved into various support mechanisms and explored ways to offer more flexibility to our international students. In addition to the sessions, we had the opportunity to tour AKMI’s various campuses and facilities, gaining a richer understanding of the diversity in our educational approaches. This hands-on experience allowed us to see firsthand the innovative methods being implemented to enhance learning outcomes for all students.
Our meeting would not have been complete without a cultural visit to the Acropolis. During our tour, we admired the Parthenon and soaked in Athens’ rich ancient history, adding a unique and memorable dimension to our visit. On the second day, we engaged in numerous presentations and meetings with all our partners. This gathering marked our 6th steering group meeting, serving as a crucial platform to discuss various challenges and strategize on achieving our goals. The collaboration and exchange of ideas during these meetings are vital for the continued success of the U2VET project.
Looking ahead, the U2VET project will be producing a series of videos and informative materials as part of our WP2 activities in the coming months. These resources aim to further support our mission of promoting inclusion and improving education for all students within our network. Specifically, we will be creating several videos tailored for VET staff. These videos will focus on training our professionals to effectively support Ukrainian refugees, assess their prior skills, and understand their needs for personal and professional growth. By equipping our staff with these tools, we aim to foster a more inclusive and responsive educational environment that caters to the diverse backgrounds and aspirations of all our learners.
