Critical thinking is an important skill for professionals to possess to be successful in their field.

This explains why vocational education should include critical thinking skills to help students develop the ability to think critically and make informed decisions and acquire abilities such as problem-solving activities, case studies, and simulations.

By teaching critical thinking skills, professional trainers who took part in our NERDVET project helped trainees become more effective problem-solvers and better prepared for the challenges of their chosen profession.

The NERDVET team wishes to thank you for joining us yesterday for the event.

We are grateful for your presence and enthusiasm which made the event a great success. 💙

Our final event came to an end!

EVTA Director and Secretary General Giulia Meschino wanted to take a moment to thank all the speakers for their valuable contributions, all participants for being such an enthusiastic public and Eianp for the support.

Indeed, we do all appreciate your kind support.
Keep following us for more details about NERDVET, Critical Thinking, and the impact it can have on VET!

Conclusions and final remarks were on Silvia Belotto, ENAIP NET’s Project Manager, hoping for future opportunities to discuss the topic of Critical Thinking and VET, as it is a matter particularly closed to our hearts and values, so crucial for the community practices.

And we do hope so as well!

Since its foundation has been working hard to ensure that policy making in the VET environment is effective and leads to positive outcomes.

With her three key messages, Monica Verzola, ENAIP NET International Area Director provided us with enlightening suggestions on what can be done to have a positive impact on what international, national, and local governments do for VET.

We were very thrilled and honored to listen to such brilliant ideas.

Do you want to know why? Don’t miss the posts we will share in the next few days! 😉

There could not be a better way of concluding our event than with the words of Konstantinos Rotsios, Dean of Perrotis College - American Farm School.

His inspirational and uplifting contribution highlighted the significance of guaranteeing the sustainability and further utilization of the Educational Toolkit.

He also gave us some significantly bright ideas on how we can accomplish this.

As our conference was approaching its final part, Paula Pedro a Project Manager from Inovinter focused on the key lessons learned from the pilot action experience.

She also emphasized the way we capitalise them in the review of the Educational Toolkit.

We could not ask for more: it was an incredibly beneficial and illuminating contribution!
