The value added of such enlargement enables us all, as practitioner institutions, to learn from each other; expand our understanding; share good practice in teaching and learning; adapt new technologies and bring a common understanding in our efforts to influence the European goal of a single transparent framework for Vocational Education and Training. Moreover, through EfVET as a practitioner network - the conference offers the opportunity to build relationships and collaborative partnerships across Europe.
