Digital wellbeing of VET teachers and learners

Presentation from the workshop "eTwinning Online Workshop 2024 (IVET) - Empowering the well-being of learners and teachers in initial vocational education and training". Event description eTwinning can be viewed as a platform contributing to promoting well-being in learners within the context of vocational education. The emphasis on promoting learning and adaptability within eTwinning aligns with the broader concept of well-being. Results such as PISA and Pathway to School Success acknowledge critical issues surrounding well-being of vocational students and the need to address them through initiatives like eTwinning and Erasmus+. In this context, the well-being Workshop for staff working in Initial Vocational Education and Training focused on: Establishing a holistic understanding of well-being for both teachers and learners; Encouraging a systematic integration of well-being factors in teaching and learning; Showcasing the added value of eTwinning in enhancing well-being in IVET; Displaying good practices from Erasmus+ mobility projects and eTwinning projects in promoting well-being.
