Description
1) Objective
VILLUM FOUNDATION seeks to enable young people in Europe to become frontrunners in digital and green transitions. The European Vocational Education and Training Initiative (EVI) supports inclusive VET, specifically addressing the green and digital transition, as well as young people’s social skills and motivation for education. With this program they focus primarily on projects in Czechia, Slovakia, Italy and France.
- Focus area 1: Enhancing quality of VET
VET is an important lever of Europe’s digital and green transitions. Highly qualified and motivated employees are crucial if the industries are to become more sustainable and climate-friendly, while at the same time remaining efficient and competitive. They support high-quality vocational education and training, provided by competent teachers in state-of-the-art facilities — especially in areas relating to the digital and green transitions. - Focus area 2: Encouraging motivation for education
Europe’s digital and green transitions will require that citizens develop the necessary skills to use new technologies in everyday life and at work. And they must be able to translate knowledge about technology and the environment into qualified decisions – for the benefit of a greener and more sustainable society. In order to enable young people to acquire the skills and competencies needed in the future, they also fund initiatives building young people’s motivation for education, and interest in computer technology and sustainable environment.
2) Eligibility
Schools and educational institutions, civil society organisations, local innovators and public authorities can apply. Applicants cannot be individual persons. They encourage collaboration with partners, that deliver supplementary competencies and capabilities.
3) Location
They focus primarily on projects in Czechia, Slovakia, Italy and France. In 2024, applications for initiatives primarily in Italy and France are eligible.
4) Budget
VILLUM FOUNDATION supports capacity building and competence development and prioritise longer-term projects with potential for systemic change. Applications with a budget of less than EUR 150,000 will not be considered. They prefer projects with a budget over EUR 500,000 in order to realistically fulfil the ambitions.
5) Application
The application deadline is 23 May 2024 (online application).
