Project "Let's mimic – Biomimicry Design for sustainability skills in VET"
The "Let's mimic" project aims to integrate the concept of biomimicry into Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs to enhance sustainability, innovation, and the practical skills of high school students. Biomimicry is the practice of adapting strategies and models offered by nature into real-world solutions to address human challenges. This concept provides a unique and effective approach to vocational training activities.
By incorporating biomimicry into the VET curriculum, the "Let's mimic" project seeks to promote a new generation of skilled professionals capable of creating sustainable and innovative solutions inspired by nature. The project aims for VET education programs to be sustainable and relevant, supporting young people in developing green and environmental skills closely aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Main objective of the project:

• Increase the labor market relevance of vocational and technological high school education (VET) by promoting Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in VET high schools.
• Introduce the concept of Biomimicry into VET high schools to facilitate the acquisition of sustainable development skills.
• Improve sustainability knowledge and awareness among VET teachers and trainers.
• Develop flexible and gamified learning pathways, including microlearning units and collaborative spaces for VET learners.
• Facilitate the dual transition in VET and prepare VET learners for the "jobs of the future.
