WHAT IS NAVE2?
Network for the Advancement of Vocational Education in Europe
NAVE2 with two E’s was established in 2018 by four large organisations in VET in Europe to strengthen and deepen their international cooperation. Consorzio de Istituti Professionali in Italy, Gobierno de Navarra, SAMPO and ROC Midden Nederland had already been working together in international mobility for students and staff and in innovative projects for years. The growth of these activities and the intention to do even more in the future brought about the idea to formalise the cooperation. This became NAVE2 on 21 April 2018 with the official ceremony in Novellara in Italy.
The NAVE2 partners meet, apart from online meetings, once a year for an official partnership conference in one of the partner countries. At these meetings planning of mobility flows is discussed as well as quality aspects, potential KA2 projects and general developments in VET in Europe.
NAVE2 has identified specific areas to develop as a partnership to the benefit of all the partners. These are:
NAVE2 for inclusion: to strengthen and improve international experience for all our students
NAVE2 for mobility: to increase high quality structural mobility of students and staff within the partnership
NAVE2 for strategy: to strengthen VET education at our centres, nationally and at a European level.
