From 10-12 of September 2024, Mundus participated in The Forum of Excellence in VET (CoVE) is an integral part of WorldSkills Lyon 2024, bringing together leading experts, educators, and industry representatives from around the globe. This forum aims to foster collaboration and innovation in vocational education and training by addressing common challenges faced by the sector. Participants engage in discussions on best practices, new methodologies, and the future of skills training.

The CoVE initiative focuses on establishing Centres of Vocational Excellence across Europe, which serve as hubs for sharing knowledge, resources, and strategies to improve VET. By promoting partnerships between education and industry, the CoVE Forum encourages the development of high-quality vocational programs that align with labor market needs. This collaboration aims to enhance the quality and relevance of vocational education, ensuring that it meets the demands of a rapidly changing economy.

Mundus is part of TourX – the first COVE in Toursim & Hospitality industry launched in 2022, but also other projects in Tourism and Hospitality, such as CoastalPro and TourEdu4all. 

Iva Perkovic, Project Manager for TourX and the CoastalPro projects at Mundus, took part in a workshop dedicated to #sustainabletourism practices and #adultlearning pathways for tourism professionals. It was a fantastic opportunity to share key examples from both projects and engage deeply with colleagues from across Europe who focus on these critical topics every day. “Together, we explored best practices, connected over shared goals, and gained invaluable insights into the unique needs and challenges we face in our countries.”
