Inclusive Pedagogy in VET

IPVET is an Erasmus+-project coordinated by Finnish VET school WinNova. There are three VET schools and European countries involved: IVV (Belgium), Graafschap College (Netherlands) and WinNova (Finland). 

The project addresses challenges in VET education that indicate the problems the students are facing with social, mental, and physical wellbeing. New methods and technologies will be studied, tested and integrated in the learning and orientation materials of the partner schools to help the personnel to improve their skills and competences. In the long run, the project will have a positive impact on students’ inclusion and integration in VET schools and help them to complete their studies. The project addresses the following topics: 1. Preventing early school leaving and failure in education 2. Physical and mental health and well-being 3. Social responsibility of educational institutions

The main aims and work packages of the project are:

• WP2 Collecting information, benchmarking, peer learning
  The objective of WP2 is to list collective and applicable methods, practices and technology that can be used in improving the skills and competences of the schools’ personnel in addressing students with problematic behaviour, concentration problems or/and problems of physical, social, mental wellbeing, or no-show in classes. The main result of WP2 is a survey report listing best practices.
• WP3 Pilot planning and piloting
  The objectives of WP3 are to produce concrete pilot plans and to run pilots in each organisation and test the assumption that the chosen methods, practices and/or technology lead to good results. The results of WP3 are concrete pilot plans and successfully conducted 2–3 pilots in each organisation.
• WP4 Analysis of used methods, creation of learning materials
  The main objective and result of WP4 is learning and orientation material that is applicable at VET schools and useful for the personnel addressing students that struggle with social, mental, and physical wellbeing.
