VET PACT – Meeting in Valencia
Our small team from the Szekler land packed their suitcases and set off for sunny, warm Valencia, in the south of Spain. Despite the sunshine and idyllic surroundings, the small team of four did not go on vacation, as they boarded a plane for work. VET PACT, our Erasmus+ supported program, had an expert meeting. If you follow the news about our project, you may have already heard that we are currently at the end of the research phase. All partner countries, namely Argentina, El Salvador, Colombia, Hungary, Romania, and Spain, are trying to complete the surveys and interviews, but detailed results have already been obtained.

On Sunday and Monday, on the second and third days of the meeting, the focus was on evaluating and processing the research results, and discussing what improvements and tasks await the partners after the meeting. On Tuesday, we got to know and got to discover the city. In the morning, we had the opportunity to take a guided tour where we could learn about the history of this wonderful city and see it’s not-so-hidden treasures.
On Wednesday (actually, on Monday) we changed locations and visited the vocational school in Spain, which is also a partner in the project. We could see what the facilities of the Spanish school are like, we could compare the teaching methods there with those at home, and good practices were shared by the teachers there.
Overall, we had a successful meeting where we could gain insight into the global reality of vocational education, share and listen/see good practices. The work did not end with the trip home, as there is still a year and a half left. We will be back soon with more information about what awaits us after the end of the research period.
