In its last phase, the RENAISSANCE approach has been simulated under market conditions connecting 10 sites across the globe, to demonstrate its scalability and replicability.
Erasmus+ Circular Bricks project
To help train and educate the new generation of bioeconomy professionals with the necessary hard and soft skills, we need to rethink and improve our current educational model for the bioeconomy. Across Europe, some initiatives have already been put in place. However, there seems to be a lack of generalized and consistent schemes, especially with regards to the VET field. In order to address these needs, Circular Bricks will train VET teachers from the agri-food sector in order to make them able to educate their students with the necessary green skills required by current and future industries operating in the European circular bioeconomy.
The project will develop innovative pedagogical material on circular bioeconomy related topics for VET teachers. Specifically, involved teachers will be provided with a thorough and practical approach to circular bioeconomy principles and their implementation in the agri-food sector, as well as with efficient tools for holding effective design thinking sessions and preparing learners to become true agents of change. Both teachers and students will have acquired new green skills and competencies, thus adding “circular bricks” to their know-how.
Circular Bricks and CHOICE are sister projects.
