Train MeOut

Wrapping up an inspiring week of digital innovation in Krakow with MÖBIUS! 🇵🇱

Over the past days, our participants have explored how technology is transforming vocational education and training. Highlights included hands-on sessions at Krakow University of Economics, where they got a deep dive into IT systems, the Gamification Laboratory, and the Notebook LM tool, showing how digital solutions support international VET projects.

A visit to Krakow Technology Park offered insights into the latest tech-driven initiatives, while networking and knowledge exchange allowed participants to share experiences and best practices across regions.

Overall, this study visit has been a perfect blend of innovation, practical learning, and collaboration, showing how IT and digital tools are shaping the future of vocational education.

A special thank you to our partner, Uniwersytet Ekonomiczny w Krakowie, for hosting and sharing their expertise throughout this inspiring study visit!

ℹ️ MÖBIUS is funded by the European Union. Through this initiative, we aim to strengthen cross-regional cooperation in Vocational Education and Training (VET) across Central Europe, the Eastern Partnership countries, and the Western Balkans. By fostering international collaboration and organizing summits and study visits, we are working towards a more connected, future-ready VET landscape.

What if vocational education didn’t stop at borders? 🌍
Through VETXchange, partners from Europe and the Philippines are learning, exchanging, and collaborating hands-on - from study visits and bootcamps to real international opportunities.

The goal: stronger skills, meaningful connections, and new ways to learn together. 🚀

ℹ️ The VETXchange project, funded by the European Union, aims to strengthen international collaboration in vocational education and training. By connecting VET institutions across Europe and Southeast Asia, the project fosters inclusion, mobility, and capacity building to improve the quality and reach of VET systems through innovative partnerships and shared expertise.

🏫 As part of the study visit organised within the AVETE – Alliance for VET Excellence: Advancing ErasmusPro Mobilities project together with Harghita County Council (Hargita Megye Tanácsa), tutors and VET educators gathered in Miercurea Ciuc for a programme of institutional exchange and professional dialogue.

🤝 The agenda included a series of institutional and work visits, offering participants the opportunity to explore regional initiatives and vocational education practices. Among the programme highlights were visits to the St. Elizabeth Roman Catholic Theological High School, the Gyimesi Skanzen, and the Garden Proiect kft, RIBON Nature Shop , providing valuable insight into local educational environments and community initiatives.

🚁 The programme also featured a workshop on drones in VET, creating space for discussion on innovative approaches and emerging technologies that can support vocational education and skills development.

🎯 Through these exchanges, partners and educators strengthened cooperation and shared perspectives on enhancing mobility opportunities and reinforcing collaboration between education and the labour market within VET systems.

🙏 We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Harghita County Council for hosting the visit and for their kind support throughout the programme, as well as to all partners for their active participation and valuable contributions.

🌍 Train MeOut Journeys - Throwback to Gaborone, Botswana

The EDUVET Advanced Training brought hands-on learning and scientific exchange to participants from Botswana, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia. From field sampling and microbiology to honeybee health and animal welfare, learners gained real skills to support farmers, protect animals, and strengthen communities. 🐝🔬🐾

Practical knowledge, international collaboration, and lasting impact - that’s the spirit of Train MeOut. 💙

From the very first moments, the project was full of connection, openness, and meaningful exchange. Through energisers, buddy walks, and interactive exercises, participants built strong bonds while exploring topics such as community building, social classes, youth participation, and the role of community organizers.

Creative methods like problem and solution trees, World Café discussions, simulations, and cultural activities turned complex topics into shared understanding. From reflections inspired by Freedom Writers to playful yet powerful moments where pasta divided us and culture united us, the project showed how learning can be deep, human, and joyful at the same time. Tired minds, full hearts, and a community that will last beyond the project. 💛✨

✨ Start 2026 the right way with Train MeOut ✨

New year, new opportunities. 🚀 Kick off 2026 by joining Train MeOut projects that empower young people, strengthen skills, and create real international impact.

Today’s meeting started with an energizer to help us wake up and get energized. Our first activity focused on creating our own definitions of the words group, constituency, social class, and community. We then discussed the topic of our project and explored what the role of a community organizer is.

The second energizer was full of movement and helped us regain energy for the next session, where we listened to a story and identified the problems within it. After the Medusa energizer, we were introduced to the Ladder of Participation, a scale that shows different levels of youth engagement in the community.

Later, we illustrated problem trees and solution trees for different issues, helping everyone understand which challenges to focus on in the future. Then it was time for buddy time! 🤝

The last activity of the day was the World Café, a great method to explore and compare the problems faced by different communities. We finished the evening by watching the Oscar-winning film Freedom Writers—an inspiring approach to the topic of racial marginalization and a powerful reflection on the goals of our project. 🎬✨

First day of the "Step Up" project went very well! We did interesting exercises to get to know each other and then discussed topics related to the importance of community building. We finished the day with a walk outside, sharing interesting information with a buddy. 🌿🤝

The energy was amazing and everyone was actively involved, which made the discussions even more inspiring. We’re already feeling a strong sense of connection within the group. Looking forward to being together again tomorrow! 😊✨
