VRGreen Adventure is an innovative initiative to respond to the growing need to encourage pro-environmental attitudes in pupils from an early age. This project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, is led by the DEP Institut and created various educational materials for students to become agents of green change. Within the framework of the project, the following has been created:

On June 3 and 4, 2018, the last international meeting of the European Keyway project led by D'EP Institut was held. This meeting, organized by HdBA in the German city of Manheim, focused on the presentation of the final version of the guide and discussed the testing phase of the tools with guidance services and practitioners. The final seminars will be held in June and July in the four participating countries. In Barcelona, the practical seminar “Evaluation of the impact of guidance services” will take place on July 5. During the session, at the Pati Manning of the Diputació de Barcelona, the impact evaluation of guidance services will be discussed and how it allows to value and measure the quality of guidance services, as well as to provide evidence to influence the design of public guidance policies.

This Erasmus+ Programme project is part of a set of projects that are being developed to respond to the Covid-19 crisis. The main goal is to develop assessment tools and digital support so that secondary schools can self-assess and develop their academic and professional guidance programme and take new challenges to reduce early school leaving. In addition, online training will also be offered for teachers and guidance professionals through the TACKLE toolbox. It is considered that as a result of the Covid-19 crisis in Europe, the need for guidance, control and support services for schools is even more urgent. For this reason, innovative digital tools will be developed to support guidance professionals and teachers. D'EP Institut leads this project with the collaboration of other European entities: Barcelona Education Consortium, Centro Studi Pluriversum (Italy), Ison Psychometrica (Greece), Iskra Desarrollo SCCCL (Spain).

D'EP Institut, together with 9 other entities of the education and training sector from 6 countries of the European Union have been responsible for creating and testing the methodological framework of the Jobland project, as well as the resources and didactic materials created.
