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.

We are proud to announce the successful completion of the conference ‘Developing Adult Education Strategies: Trends and Priorities in Cyprus and the EU’. The conference was co-organised with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth, and the research centre CARDET, with the support of the Lifelong Learning Foundation (IDEP) and the University of Nicosia. 

The COVID-19 pandemic forced many business owners and functional team leaders in the SME sector to rapidly rethink their business, making innovation and digital transformation a must to ensure stability and, in the worst case, even survive. Most SMEs, pushed by sudden market changes, implemented innovation processes not as a structured and strategical response but mostly as a roughly improvised "escape forward".
