<< Background >>The project was presented shortly after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in response to the need to continue teaching VT in contexts with limited face-to-face classrooms. It was necessary to have instruments and resources to be able to continue teaching the contents, especially procedural, in distance or blended modalities.On the other hand, the environmental problems that we suffer, especially climate change, recommend proper forest and environmental management, as well as the incorporation of sustainability aspects in the productive sectors.This is how the DIGIFOR project was born, which has carried out a survey of good practices and innovations in the forestry and environmental sectors, achieving a compilation of up to 80 innovations that can be used in VT teaching. Mobile applications, web pages, documentary or environmental information repositories occupy most of these innovations, which have been translated from English (working language) into Spanish, Turkish, Slovenian and Bulgarian (national languages of the 4 partners).All the information, and the results, can be found at:www.digifor-erasmusproject.com<< Objectives >>The objectives of this project were the following:General objective. Increase the level of preparation of educational centers, including managers, teachers and students, to face situations in which distance or blended learning is necessary.Specific objectives:- Establish a pan-European working group of institutions linked to vocational training and the forestry, environmental, and sustainable development goals sectors, which contributes to the development of the European Green Pact.- Identify good practices for the use of new technologies in the forestry and environmental sectors, within professional training, especially for the achievement of the procedural evaluation criteria of the different forestry/environmental VET courses.- Dissemination of the resources and methodologies detected among the European Vocational Training centers that teach forestry or environmental education, in order to achieve a greater impact of the project results.- Establishment of the bases for a future KA220 Cooperation Association project.<< Implementation >>All the activities included in the project have been carried out:Transnational Coordination Meeting No. 1 in SloveniaTransnational Coordination Meeting No. 2 in TürkiyeTransnational Coordination Meeting No. 3 in BulgariaFinal transnational meeting nº 4 in SpainActivities to search for good practices in SpainGood practice search activities in SloveniaGood practice search activities in BulgariaGood practice search activities in TürkiyeProcessing of information and preparation of resultsDissemination, exploitation and communication (DEC) of the impact in SpainDissemination, exploitation and communication (DEC) of the impact in SloveniaDissemination, exploitation and communication (DEC) of the impact in BulgariaDissemination, exploitation and communication (DEC) of the impact in Türkiye.<< Results >>The expected results are:- Creation of a stable consortium that adequately develops this project and that allows the approach of new collaboration proposals.- Preparation of a list of institutions that may be carrying out technological innovations or good practices in the use of digital technologies for use in professional education in the forestry and environmental sector.- Completion of some statements of identification of good practices in relation to the use of digital technologies in which the characteristics of this resource, methodology, etc. are collected.- Based on the information collected by each partner of the consortium among their selected institutions, preparation of reports ofsynthesis with the good practices identified and considered transferable.- List of educational institutions, companies and educational or environmental public administrations, which may be recipients and recipients of the results of the project.- Campaign to disseminate and multiply the results of the project.
