Webinar: Schools without Walls – Implications on TVET

Worlddidac and its affiliate PINO Network are co-organizing a free online webinar on how digitalization of education is affecting technical and vocational education and training (TVET).

The goal of the webinar is to spark conversation and awareness of the implications of embedding digital tools and technologies into TVET education. How does it support or hinder acquiring practical skills for modern workplace requirements? What are the best trainer skills and pedagogical practices for TVET educators to adapt in a school without walls? How can micro-credentials and degree programs succeed side by side?

In the webinar Worlddidac and PINO Network are opening the stage for panelists to share their experiences and best practices. The goal is to spark ideas from the discussions and to inspire further developments to enhance learning in a future where schools will potentially no longer have walls.

The program is targeted at TVET institutions, teachers, training experts, businesses and authorities. The webinar is open and free for everyone. Attendees are encouraged to join in on discussions and provide their insights and experiences in a Q&A session or after the webinar by email.
