DEED: Digital Environmental Education in VET

2022-1-CZ01-KA220-VET-000088190 | Erasmus+ | 01/11/22 - 28/02/25

Why the DEED Project?

Climate change is already affecting lives and livelihoods across Europe, with extreme weather events causing both human and financial losses. In response, the EU has set ambitious targets - cutting emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieving climate neutrality by 2050.

While much of this effort focuses on organisations, individual actions matter too. Building green competences - such as reducing waste, reusing materials, and choosing sustainable transport - is essential.

Although sustainability is increasingly present in general education, VET programmes often lack practical resources to support this shift. The DEED project addresses this gap by helping VET educators integrate green competences into their teaching. The project focuses on creating digital, adaptable, ready-made resources for VET educators to incorporate straight into their classrooms.

What Can You Expect From Us?

The DEED project supports VET teachers and trainers in building students’ green competences through innovative, digital methods. We aim to raise awareness of why these skills matter and provide practical tools to make sustainability a natural part of vocational education.

Here what we have to offer:

Green Skills for Life Learning Platform
A student-friendly platform featuring microlessons on sustainability topics, where learners can earn microcertification badges as they progress, along with an implementation guide for VET teachers, offering step-by-step support to help embed the platform into their teaching.
Green Skills for Life Microlesson Library
A collection of around 200 microlessons - including videos, infographics, podcasts, and interactive activities - complete with customisable templates for easy adaptation to classroom needs.
Teachers’ Guide on Green Competence Training
A practical manual to help educators understand and teach green competences effectively in vocational settings.
Virtual Library
A curated hub of external resources to explore green competence development, microlearning, and microcredentialing further.

All resources are now available at www.eco-bits.eu/deed.
