The huge importance of the intercultural awareness and competences is recognized by the EU, the European institutions and all the member-countries. However, there are still many VET trainers who are great experts in their particular field, but when it comes to knowledge or experience in working with students from various backgrounds, nationalities and cultures, they need to fill that gap by searching the right methods and tools on their own.
The project #CIT4VET aims to improve the situation by providing a database with instruments for improving the intercultural competences with VET trainers, institutions and learners.
We are happy to announce the official start of DIHUB Project!
The cloud based services are growing rapidly in the European economy. Technology changes fast and there will be soon 5G technology available. These facts make this project highly relevant. Nowadays clouds are environments to offer different types of services, for example machine-learning tools and Software as a Service (SaaS).

A LTTA on the EVET project took place in Nicosia, Cyprus from 9th to 13th September.
Know and Can Association presented an objective and even critical report based on the feedback received from 140 participants in the test of the first intellectual product - the Online Diagnostic Tool. Based on the suggestions and comments made, the final version of the product will be improved, translated and will be available in all partner languages very soon at: https://platform.e-vetproject.eu/ .
During the first months of #CIT4VET project lifetime all partners performed desk and Internet based research in order to fulfil the first step towards the creation of the Database of intercultural tools. The partnership collected more than 100 resources (methodologies, OERs, evaluation methods; self-learning materials, etc) in the sphere of intercultural learning and improvement of intercultural competences in VET sector. The resources are grouped in a table/grid according to previously established criteria and sectors – description of the tool; sector of appliance; mode of learning and interaction, culture focus; target group; level of difficulty; available language versions, etc.
CIT4VET brought project partners to Turin to discuss, analyze and implement the work of preparing project outputs. During the meeting, partners established the work plan of the forthcoming months, which will focus on the development of the website, the progressive implementation of the database relating to resources and instruments of an intercultural tools available for professional training. The database will be accompanied by a series of four e-learning modules which includes some methodological tips to favour intercultural dialogue, together with exercises and self-assessment tests on the topic of intercultural competences addressed to trainers and educators.
