The Erasmus+ project “Empowering Youth for Green Careers” (2025-1-LV01-KA210-VET-000359472) held a highly successful meeting in Riga, Latvia, in November 2025. Project leaders from Latvia, Norway and Lithuania convened for an intensive working summit to lay the foundational structure for their first major intellectual output.
The meeting focused on collaboratively designing the Self-Evaluation Questionnaire, a crucial digital tool intended to function as a Green Audit for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). This questionnaire, which will ultimately be available in 4 languages, is a direct response to the project’s core objective: to drive the green transformation of workplaces by improving the quality of vocational education and training (VET). The team worked to define the thematic pillars of sustainability practices, ensuring the final tool is practical, actionable, and aligned with EU standards.
As an example of real-world learning, the consortium visited a local Riga workshop specializing in repair and reuse, gathering tangible inspiration for promoting circular economy practices.
The successful conclusion of this planning meeting marks the shift to the content production phase. The partners are now moving forward to finalize the questionnaire’s content and oversee the development of the IT tool, which will be launched for testing in the coming months.
