TVET ALLIANCE SUMMIT 2022

April 5-6, 2022

Promoted by the Skillman Alliance

SIF 2021 created relevant knowledge with the contribution of international high-level experts. Participants shared their understanding and visions for the future of education and contributed with ideas for redefining approaches to learning and equipping them with a new attention to values.

The 2021 debate highlighted ideas and proposals for the future of education under the following main themes: DIGITAL AND GREEN REVOLUTION – MICRO-CREDENTIALS – SHARING IS CARING.

The ongoing attack on Ukraine forces the SIF community to adapt to the war scenario and calls for discussing new challenges related to building and maintaining peace. This year’s debate will therefore focus on the role of education as a cornerstone of peace and revive the already consolidated attention of SIF participants to ethical values in education. In addition, this year’s debate will explore how the development of a digital mindset can become an engine to take technical and vocational education for peace to the next level.

For all these reasons, it is our great pleasure to invite relevant stakeholders to TVET-ALLIANCE SUMMIT - 2022.
The event is organised by the members of TVET-ALLIANCE in partnership with the European Training Foundation and with the operational efforts of some specific members such as: IVETA, AER, ENNI, Skillman and EAPRIL.

Twenty-four members will meet in Florence, Italy, on 5-6 April 2021 to finalise the outcomes of SIF 2021 and to set the vision of the Alliance on which SIF 2022 will be based.
Participants will take the first results of the Alliance's efforts and discuss their further upgrading to make the Alliance stronger!
A statement will also be drafted to help shape the future of TVET as a responsive sector, able to react to megatrends, even anticipate them, and create an inclusive system for all that leaves no one behind.

The Summit will take place in the fascinating surroundings of Florence.

Skillman Learning Community

The Summit is a part of a long journey where the participants work together to achieve common goals aiming at improving education and TVET.

The participants share a strong commitment in co-shaping an inclusive, resilient and sustainable society, where TVET represents a pillar for innovation in curricula development and designing the “society of tomorrow”.

The Skillman Network is a non-governmental organisation based in the EU and engaged in the TVET domain to design and distribute solutions that facilitate the implementation of the work-based-learning approach to skills mismatch for a worldwide community of practitioners, researchers and institutions.

Listen to the introduction by Andreas Schleicher, Director, Education and Skills, OECD, who invites delegates to SIF 2021 to discuss some very important aspects that make up the thinking of the Skillman International Forum and which will be valorised at the Alliance Summmit:

SUMMIT VENUE

The Villa is surrounded by an estate of tall cypress trees, standing guard over vineyards and olive groves.

Nearby are many lovely Tuscan towns like Siena, San Gimignano, and of course Florence.

The garden side has an elegant cloister, enriched by Tuscan-style columns, and all the doors and the windows are decorated with pure Renaissance-style stones”.

ALLIANCE SUMMIT VILLA

The central courtyard, along with its well, is probably the most ancient part of the villa; several embellishments and extensions were carried out in later times.

Its exterior dates back to the XVI century, with its nice Renaissance loggia and elegant door and window framings finished in Serena stone.

The elegant rooms in the relais hotel main floor overlook the Chianti hills and have antique furniture and fabrics coming from Tuscan artisan weaving factories.

ALLIANCE SUMMIT VILLA

A shady reprieve is provided by the Renaissance loggia or portico, from where you can see vistas of the Chianti hills.

The hotel’s ancient central courtyard features roses, hydrangeas and jasmine covering the walls and the old well.

The Wellness Area of the relais hotel is well-thought in order to give moments of relax, completing the pleasure of spending some days among the Chianti hills.
