Kick-off meeting of the European DGVET project held in Granada

21/03/2022

Last 17th and 18th of March took place in Granada the kick-off meeting of DG VET, Erasmus+ project coordinated by the Official Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Belgium and Luxembourg. The aim of the meeting was to initiate the activities of the project and to establish both the lines of work and the future actions for its proper implementation.

In addition, the meeting served to create synergies between the project partners and to identify the persons responsible for each organisation. The fact that the meeting was held in a face-to-face format also made it possible to create links and generate an atmosphere of trust that will allow the collaboration of the partners to be strengthened.

DG VET is a 24-month project which aims to develop innovative training material and methodology, together with an online learning platform to support the development of marketable digital and green skills of NEET youth from rural areas to empower their employability, especially women between 18 and 30 years old.

DG-VET project partners recognize the important contribution of the Digital and Green economy (DaGE) sectors to creating job opportunities for young people living in rural areas.

Furthermore, the project will aim to tackle:

The digital divide phenomenon: the gap between those living in rural areas and those living in cities in access to ICT;
The skills mismatch between job requirements and workers’ skills within DaGE sectors;
The lack of policy engagement in the promotion and implementation of supportive youth-oriented VET programs.

We will keep you informed of the evolution of the project!

Strategic decisions

The conference continued with two presentations, given by Nuria Rodríguez, Director of Environment and Sustainability at Naturgy and Pieter Ferdinand Elias Duerinckx, International Head of Renewable Energy Generation Equipment at Iberdrola.

Pieter Jean Provoost, Manager at Agoria, moderated next a panel discussion between the two speakers, followed by a round of questions related to the implementation of green hydrogen in Spain and the particularities of its taxonomy were highlighted.

The event ended with a cocktail party where guests were able to share their views on the discussions, as well as serve as a meeting point for professional networking.
