The 2nd partner meeting of the KA2 Erasmus+ “Quality Qualification for VET – QQVET” project was held in Bucarest, from the 13th to the 14th of July.

The two years project is coordinated by ESMOVIA and is being carried out by a transnational partnership of organizations from Italy, Romania, Portugal and Czech Republic, with the aim to promote the work based learning approach among VET providers, VET students, companies and to strengthen the collaboration among all the stakeholders.

During the meeting, partners have shared the results and most relevant findings related the production of the intellectual output 1, the QQVET Impact Study, a transnational survey aiming at measuring the impact of the worked based learning and mobility experiences in VET students, hosting companies, VET directors and providers and VET teachers.

Furthermore, partners have started to work on the QQVET Documentary Series, the following expected output consisting of a series of appealing video Chapters, reporting the real experiences, best practices and survey-related information about transnational mobilities and traineeship initiative in all the project countries.

A brainstorming session was held to exchange ideas and useful video materials, and to come up with more detailed instructions about the video production.

Our Romanian partner, NTUC Meridian, hosted the meeting and also provided a space where partner organizations could meet local and national institutions to share information and discuss about ongoing and future initiatives to foster VET education and employability. The meeting was also a good chance to promote the project, thanks to the participation of a local media.

The meeting sessions run smoothly thanks to the collaborative spirit and mutual trust among all partners. We are really looking forward to moving on the creation of the next results!
