Co-CIVIC enhances the cooperation between VET institutions and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) by giving their teachers/tutors/staff the knowledge, skills and tools to co-design a project-based learning approach that equips students with the competences to ideate, design and develop (and/or prototype) social projects. In Co-CIVIC we understand social projects, as both tangible (i.e. social objects) and intangible (i.e. social innovation initiative or service) solutions.

Co-CIVIC provides customised training for VET teachers/tutors and CSO staff co-design and implement collaborative PBL projects for where they create projects that contribute to the social goals and impact of the CSOs involved.
