Creating Shared Values – English

Our main activities

8 partners from 7 different countries will all work towards achieving the same main goal and successfully managing the 3 main activities of the project:

CSV-Reference-Guide

The “Create Shared Value” project follows the principle that social responsibility can be learned, which would be particularly useful for vocational trainers, educational specialists and learners, as they all support training in their teaching, organization and implementation methods. They have to be creative and thus generate shared values

The importance of staying creative

Creativity, a 21st-century skill for employment and a pathway to social inclusion, is the most in-demand soft skill that companies need in 2020. Therefore, one of the objectives of ET 2020 — the EU’s Strategic Framework for Education and Training 2020 is “creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship at all levels of education and training”. However, studies have shown that most people are born with incredible creative potential, but by the time they reach adulthood and enter the work field only 2% show the same genius levels of creativity.

The Project

The project aims to improve the ability of VET professionals to find appropriate solutions in the specific context of social responsibility, generating shared values. We are looking for modern ways to make learning easier… a guide / an APP!  As mentioned above, with CSV@VET we want to support institutions in the vocational education sector by providing some practical materials and activities to connect their business interests with those of the community in which they operate, i.e. with the actions of their employees. In doing so, we ensure an appropriate level of responsibility towards society and its economic and legal obligations in business and industry.

Our primarily aims with CSV@VET are:
O1– Promoting CSR methodology to help improve the vocational training sector through technology,
O2– ensuring the active participation of disadvantaged people in vocational training,
O3– Increasing employability in business areas and promoting new roles through CSV@VET,
O4– Increasing awareness of the social responsibility of educational institutions, especially vocational training.
O5– Introducing environmentally friendly approaches, a more inclusive and participatory society.
O6– Mutual benefit for entrepreneurs and society. (win to win)

The outputs

The outputs/results of the project will be a guide, programm and APP, correlated to the three main activities of the project:

 

  • Create Shared Value Reference Guide
  • Platform and Downloadable Material about CSR/CSV
  • Training Program APP to access it

 

The books gather all the precious information that was shared between the participants of the main activities and they will be available on the project website and Erasmus+ dissemination Platforms.

The targeted groups

The main groups that are targeted regarding the Create Shared Value for VET project are:

  • Teachers, trainers, educational staff from I-VET and C-VET
  • Educational professionals (VET managers, schools principals, developers, administrative staff)
  • Mentors/tutors/coaches from companies with creative jobs involved in work-based learning
  • And, nonetheless, the indirect participants – 600 learners (including disadvantaged people, especially with geographic, economic or social barriers) who will ultimately be involved in the partners’ training/courses as beneficiaries.

CSV4VET works not only to sensitize mentors/tutors to participate in vocational training processes, but also to improve the knowledge of people in the vocational training industry about in-company training and the potential of social responsibility and generating shared values, thereby also refining their pedagogical skills .
