BELONGtoEU produces concrete, transferable and open-access results designed to strengthen EU Education in Vocational Education and Training (VET) across Europe and beyond.
All results are developed collaboratively by the partnership and tested directly in real teaching and learning environments.
Needs Analysis & Research
Understanding teachers’ needs
The project starts with an in-depth needs analysis and desk research involving VET teachers and institutions from all partner countries.
This activity provides the evidence base for all subsequent project activities, through the identification of gaps in knowledge, skills and teaching approaches related to EU studies, and the mapping of existing good practices and methodologies.
