European Project VETgoesRURAL

VETgoesRURAL is a European Union-funded project that seeks to bring innovation to vocational education and training (VET) practices in isolated rural and remote areas of the EU. The project aims to revolutionize VET methodologies and approaches, ensuring that VET opportunities are customized to meet the specific requirements and aspirations of professionals and learners residing in these secluded regions within the EU.

Objectives

Improve VET professionals' skills and capacities in order to provide enhanced training and foster learners' engagement in EU isolated rural areas.

Innovate educational practices in isolated/remote rural areas.

Create a VET methodologies and approaches that respond to the needs and expectations of professionals and learners from isolated and remote areas of the EU.

Increase the quality of VET programmes.

Increase learners' participations and retainment in VET.

Strengthening of capacities and practices of national, regional, and local VET networks.

How to apply the VETgoesRURAL methodology?

The selection of pedagogical practices involves choosing specific educational approaches and strategies that are adapted to the rural context and address the educational challenges identified.

The educational challenge refers to the identification of the main educational difficulties or needs to be addressed in the specific context of vocational training in rural areas.

Pedagogical Practices

Define your Educational Challenge

Defining the context in rural settings involves understanding and analysing the particular characteristics of the environment.

Now it's your turn... Use the questions in this case study to answer your own challenge.

Case study activity: Innovative Methodologies in Digital Literacy Course.Context: High unemployment rate, the population has a low level of education for the most part, which limits their employment and professional development opportunities, low digital literacy and technological literacy in the population, which limits their access to digital jobs and economic growth opportunities. Access to formal education and vocational training programmes is limited due to distance and lack of educational resources in the rural area.Educational challenge: Ensure inclusive and accessible education in the field of digital literacy.Pedagogical practices:

What innovative methodologies could be used in this context? Describe at least two methodologies and explain how they can be adapted to the needs of the learners.

How could these innovative methodologies be implemented to foster active participation and meaningful learning in the field of digital literacy? Provide examples of practical activities that could be used in the course.

Pedagogical resources:

What would be the most appropriate pedagogical resources? List at least three resources and explain how they could be used effectively in the course.

How could existing pedagogical resources be adapted to make them accessible and relevant to course participants? Provide examples of modifications or adaptations that could be made.

Pedagogical dynamics:

What pedagogical dynamics could be used? Describe at least two dynamics and how they could contribute to inclusion and accessibility.

How could collaboration and exchange of ideas among course participants be promoted, taking into account their experiences and background knowledge? Provide examples of activities or strategies that could be used.
