The EcoCraft Skills VET Training Programme is a comprehensive 40-hour modular curriculum designed to support sustainability skills development in creative and craft sectors. Developed within the Erasmus+ project EcoCraft Skills, the programme is tailored for vocational education and training providers, educators, trainers, and creative professionals.
The programme combines environmental awareness with hands-on practice and is structured to help learners understand sustainability concepts and apply them directly to design, craft, and production processes. It supports flexible delivery and can be implemented in face-to-face, online, or blended learning formats.
The training programme consists of eight modules, covering topics such as sustainable materials, circular production methods, waste reduction, lifecycle thinking, sustainable branding, eco-innovation, and future professional pathways. Each module includes clear learning objectives, step-by-step facilitation guidance, practical activities, and reflection exercises.
Key features of the training programme include:
a modular and adaptable structure
trainer-ready session plans
strong focus on practical application and reflection
suitability for formal and non-formal VET settings
