Toolbox for young campaigners on Vocational Education and Training

In 2012 OBESSU launched a campaign called “Claim your Voice!” which tackled aspects of Vocational Education and Training (VET), such as participation, quality materials, quality internships and apprenticeships. The campaign was run by OBESSU together with its Member and Candidate Organisations, and was coordinated by a Working Group and a Policy Officer on VET. 

In the framework of the campaign, due to the relevance of the topic, OBESSU also coordinated a Youth in Action project for young campaigners on VET, called “YOUVET Training”. The project aimed to raise awareness and promote activism between young people in order to run advocacy and lobbying campaigns for and with VET students. The project, composed of a preliminary online training followed by a face-to-face training held in Brussels, saw school students from all over Europe discussing theoretical and practical practices to involve VET students in building a free, inclusive, quality VET system in the European countries.

During the training, student activists shaped contents and shared best practices which were then processed and gathered in this toolbox: a collection of practical ideas, information and concrete tools each school student activist or trainer can use when dealing with Vocational Education and Training.
