BluEcoInVET: SUSTAINABLE VOCATIONAL EDUCATION WITH BLUE ECONOMY

This Project pioneers sustainable vocational education by integrating Blue Economy concepts, focusing on marine renewable energy (wave, tidal, offshore wind), sustainable construction techniques, and smart building technologies. Through workshops, training, and real-world site visits, students develop practical skills in green building standards (LEED, BREEAM), IoT for smart buildings, and digital twin technology. Collaborative projects such as coastal eco-resort design and offshore wind farm planning allow students to apply their learning in multidisciplinary teams, fostering teamwork, cross-cultural communication, and technical expertise. The program prepares students to lead in the Blue Economy sector and promotes a global perspective on sustainable development. Especially, we will use bio economy principles with collaboration of different institutions

About 30th March Zero Waste Day

♻️ Zero Waste Day – March 30 Activity Plan

To celebrate International Zero Waste Day, our school will organize creative and educational activities to promote sustainability and highlight the goals of the EU Green Deal.

Why It Matters:

The Blue Economy depends on protecting our marine ecosystems. It focuses on reducing environmental waste and preventing the pollution of water resources. Every action we take to reduce, reuse, and recycle helps preserve oceans, rivers, and lakes for future generations.

Activities Include:

Recycled Material Creations: Students will design useful or artistic items from waste (e.g., bottles, cartons, fabric).

Green Avatar Videos: Students will create avatars using tools like Voki to explain how reducing waste supports the Blue Economy and Green Deal.

Zero Waste School Action Board: A display where students share pledges, tips, and posters promoting a waste-free lifestyle.


Together, we will show that “Less Waste Means a Bluer, Cleaner Planet!”

About 22th March World Water Day

Pinned

Hi to all, As part of our first activity, we organized awareness-raising wall painting activities and a "Do Not Waste Water" initiative at our school. These activities aimed to highlight the importance of water conservation and encourage students to be more mindful of their water usage. Through creative artwork and interactive discussions, we emphasized the value of every drop of water and inspired our school community to adopt more sustainable habits. We look forward to seeing the amazing initiatives from other schools as we continue working together for a better and more sustainable future

 

Below, you will find a slogan created by each participating country. These slogans will be used to create a song with Sumo.ai by me. If your school wishes to modify its slogan, you are welcome to do so. And Also you can create your poster with your slogan.
