The Covid-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on millions of people in the EU. For the millions who have lost their jobs, acquiring a new set of skills and moving to new jobs in different sections of the economy is perhaps their best chance in rebuilding a sustainable and fulfilling career. CIRCULO aims to support vocation education and training providers in providing high-quality online education by presenting a bespoke range of resources that develop circular knowledge infused with entrepreneurial spirit.

In addition, the project aims to:

• provide VET learners, young people and workers with an online training map for building and understanding the principles for a circular economy.
• develop a toolkit with the aim to build entrepreneurial spirit based on the Ideas & Opportunities section of the EntreComp framework
• provide a broader understanding of VET practices and improve the competencies in the teaching of VET professionals through the planned LTTAs and the online eNetwork.

While most organizations innovated rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic, in the next phase they will need to be more strategic rather than reactive. Innovation at the beginning of the crisis was fast and focused on employee safety as well as continuing company operations.

Thousands of pupils and teachers have been forced to stay at home and adapt to online teaching due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the whole education system has had many difficulties to manage this change. Beyond instructional goals, teachers were also required to maintain the social integration of pupils, while significant disruption to the provision of classes in the specialized classrooms, excursions etc happened.
