Regional workshop VET for social inclusion: from conceptualisation to actions  | ERI SEE

The event “VET for social inclusion in the Western Balkans and Turkey: from conceptualisation to actions”, to be held in Tirana, 14–16 March 2012 is organised by the European Training Foundation (ETF) jointly with the Albania Ministry of Education and Science. It is part of the continuous consultative process with partners from the Western Balkans and Turkey on how to enhance regional cooperation in the area of inclusive education and training.


The regional event will focus on the role of VET policy and systems for combating social exclusion and for contributing to building to more inclusive societies in the region of the Western Balkans and Turkey. Within this framework the ETF regional intervention in 2012-2013 will be discussed with policy makers, practitioners and researchers from the region and EU Member States. The working group discussions will centre on the capacities of education and training systems for generating sound evidence on the potential of VET for promoting equity, social cohesion and active citizenship. Most importantly the national policies and practices that stimulate and support the enhanced inclusive character of the VET system in the region and EU will be shared with participants.
