The European Platform for Urban Greening (EPLUG) aims to intensify the collaboration within the knowledge triangle (VET – Research & Development – Business) to facilitate these adjustments and to develop high-quality curricula and qualifications focused on these urban greening skills needs and societal challenges.
The network aims to increase the quality and adaptability of the skills ecosystem (VET, Companies, Policy makers, Individuals) for urban green landscaping. As driver of excellence and innovation, each European CoVE on Urban Greening promotes the proactive role for VET in local/regional development. The webpage has downloadable Vertical green curriculum and learning outcomes for EQF level 3 which includes learning outcomes and assessment criteria. There are also case studies for downloading, containing examples of how CoVEs are using technology, including virtual reality (VR), to engage new audiences and provide fast, flexible opportunities for Green practitioners to up-skill on the go.
Other case studies document how some CoVEs are reinventing the way Green curriculum is delivered using new technology. There are also Vertical green learning outcomes for EQF level 4.
