EDUCATION
AND TRAINING

Education and training are one of the most important keys to successfully facing an unpredictable world in constant transformation. Access to knowledge empowers individuals to reach their potential, drives the progress of society and, not least, promotes understanding, tolerance and critical thinking.


INNOVEDU develops inclusive education and vocational training programmes that promote active citizenship, equal opportunities, the deepening of knowledge and competencies and innovation, to support the resolution of social problems and create a more inclusive and sustainable world.

EUROPEAN
CITIZENSHIP

INNOVEDU is dedicated to strengthening cooperation among member countries, aiming to reinforce a common identity based on respect for the founding values and principles of the European Union. The opportunity to engage with other realities and cultures facilitates integration into a world in constant change.


This dimension of internationalisation also includes supporting organisations in the process of deepening the knowledge and professional skills of educational communities at the European level, a commitment that takes the form of cooperation, training and mobility projects.

SUSTAINABILITY
AND INNOVATION

Sustainability and innovation are one of the areas with the greatest potential for economic and social transformation today. This statement involves adopting effective and scalable solutions to preserve natural resources, boost progress and build a more equitable, responsible and ecologically conscious future.


INNOVEDU assumes the importance of social development in its mission, promoting new ideas and intervention models capable of creating innovative and sustainable solutions to complex social problems, in conjunction with entrepreneurs, social organisations, investors and the local community.
