On January 22-23 in Rome, Italy, we held the first partnership meeting on the project “Non Formal Digital Learning Opportunities for Low Skilled and VET Teachers – NDLO”. The project is funded by the Erasmus + program and aims to uplift VET learners with low skills, enabling them to upskill and reskill in preparation for a future of work that is productive and inclusive. Parallelly, it endeavors to empower VET educators with tools for non-formal digital learning opportunities, a subplot in this educational narrative.
