The GreenVET4U project introduces the Virtual Innovation Lab (VIL) — a dynamic, collaborative space designed to connect VET providers and practitioners from Uganda and EU countries. This virtual lab fosters creativity, dialogue, and joint project development, all in support of one shared goal: driving innovation in vocational education for green jobs.
Whether through brainstorming ideas, sharing resources, or outlining projects together, members of the Community of Practice (CoP) and their invitees are now working side by side — asynchronously and in real time — to co-create new VET project ideas tailored to real challenges across Africa and Europe.
Inside the Virtual Innovation Lab, participants can:
- Share reflections on common VET challenges in Uganda and Europe
- Brainstorm and track solutions to skills mismatches and green transition needs
- Co-develop project ideas
- Access and work with the GreenVET4U Competence Matrix on Design and Delivery of Innovative Curricula in Skills for Green Jobs
- Contribute to a growing resource wiki with funding opportunities and good practices
- Collaborate through meeting notes, calendars, and a dedicated discussion board
If you’re a new member of the Community of Practice (CoP) or have been invited to join the Virtual Innovation Lab, start by visiting the Welcome section. There you can add your profile and explore the calendar of upcoming meetings. Once inside, you’ll be able to connect with peers and make full use of all collaborative tools the Lab has to offer.
You can access the Virtual Innovation Lab from the “Project Results” section of the GreenVET4U website.
