Yuverta has participated in PROGRESS
From 2020 ‘till 2023 involved teachers and other staff members shared best practices via online meetings, via the website www.greenprogress.eu and in real life. We visited each other’s schools and visited local companies and organisations to see achievements ourselves and we talked to the people involved. This project inspired us in many ways. Do you want to see more about this project? Do you want to get more sustainable as a school? Do you want to attract new target groups? Go to the PROGRESS website to find out more about the project.
In October 2021 the participants visited Yuverta in Limburg. The theme of our week was sustainable building management & operations (one of the petals of the flower of the whole school approach). In order to get an idea about Yuverta’s way of dealing with that Ivo Dassen, responsible for building maintenance and development, told us more about making our learning environment more sustainable and the principle of the school we visited in Nederweert showed us the green paradise they have developed on their formerly paved school grounds. We also invited our programme manager Sustainability Yvonne Coolen to present to us Yuverta’s ambitions to contribute to a better world.
About PROGRESS
In PROGRESS we will create a living community of green VET-schools in Europe in which we exchange good practises and co-operate to find solutions to renew and promote our schools, programs and courses aiming to attract new types of students like urbanised youth and lifelong learners and make them aware of the great opportunities green knowledge and skills and the green sector in general can provide them.
