TANDEM – How to establish intergenerational and intercultural communication and how to provide for transfer and transparency of competences in VET (Vocational Education and Training).
Stavanger Community and Wenche Sunde Gilje from the training and education office is the responsible lead partner for the project.
In many European countries, two groups of society are among the most affected by low participation in labour market and social exclusion: young low-level educated and older migrant people. Both groups are also hard to reach by educational measures and often show low motivation and poor course success. “TANDEM – How to establish intergenerational and intercultural communication and how to provide for transfer and transparency of competences in VET” is based upon the successful Grundtvig project “European Generation Link” (www.european-generation-link.org) and shall adapt innovative and concrete measures for VET, demonstrating to VET teachers, trainers and counsellors how to bring these two groups of society together and make them benefit from each other.
The project is thus based upon the concept of intergenerational and intercultural learning. It will show to VET teachers how to support learners making non-formal and informal skills transparent and valid for their future professional development.
