Bringing together organisations from Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Lithuania and Belgium, the project connects vocational education providers, businesses and other stakeholders to support more inclusive learning and working environments.

Over the next four years, until 2030, DiverseVET will develop flexible training programmes, learning resources, career and mobility opportunities, and innovative learning approaches, with a focus on skills needed for the green and digital transitions. The project will also establish five regional Centres of Vocational Excellence to strengthen cooperation between education, business and local communities.

A particular focus is placed on removing barriers faced by underrepresented and underserved groups, including women, people with disabilities, migrants and refugees, while helping SMEs develop more inclusive approaches to skills, diversity and workforce development.

Circular Work Training Course Held in Berlin

The “Circular Pedro” Project Training Course was held in Berlin, Germany, from 14 to 18 September 2026, bringing together participants from Portugal, the Netherlands, Türkiye, and Germany.

During the mobility, participants explored the concept of Circular Work through micro, meso, and macro perspectives. At the macro level, the discussions focused on Circular Work within national and international contexts. The meso level addressed organisational and corporate approaches, while the micro level examined individual behaviours, attitudes, knowledge, and practices.

A key part of the training focused on identifying the knowledge, competencies, and skills needed to support Circular Work. Participants jointly developed a competence framework for Circular Pedro, an imaginary youth worker character created within the project to represent the learning journey towards more circular and sustainable working practices.

Throughout the programme, Circular Pedro explored circular working environments, green office practices, inclusive approaches, and the principles of a Just Transition. Participants also discussed the organisational and individual skills required to support this transition and considered how youth workers can contribute to more sustainable and inclusive workplaces.

The training course also provided an opportunity to review one of the project’s final outputs, the Circular Minecraft Environment. Participants tested and discussed the virtual environment together and reflected on how it can be used as an engaging learning tool for young people.

The mobility concluded with discussions on the next stages of the Circular Pedro Project, including upcoming dissemination events, the planned virtual youth exchange, and project reporting activities.

The Berlin training course strengthened cooperation among project partners and contributed to the development of practical learning tools and approaches that connect circular economy principles with the world of work, youth work, sustainability, and inclusion.
