From January 15 to 17, 2025, Athens became a hub of inspiration as it hosted the DISCOVER project’s study visit, uniting experts, educators, and stakeholders from Greece, Cyprus, and Tunisia. This ambitious EU-funded initiative is dedicated to empowering Tunisian Vocational Education and Training (VET) centers to design and implement cutting-edge digital learning strategies. By fostering a collaborative, multistakeholder approach, the project aims to address labor market demands while equipping learners with essential future-ready skills.

A Dynamic Three-Day Program

The study visit offered a rich blend of theoretical insights, practical applications, and collaborative activities. Over the three days, participants engaged in diverse sessions, including:

  • Presentations on Best Practices: Experts shared successful digital learning strategies from partner countries, offering a blueprint for innovation in VET systems.
  • Hands-On Workshops: Participants explored the integration of AI-powered tools to enhance educational outcomes.
  • Interactive Group Activities: Lively discussions and problem-solving sessions tackled key challenges in implementing digital learning across diverse contexts.
  • Facility Tours: Visits to state-of-the-art digital training centers in Athens provided participants with firsthand exposure to innovative learning environments.
  • Project Progress Review: Updates on DISCOVER’s toolkits, curriculum development, and e-learning platforms highlighted the progress and next steps in the initiative.

A Milestone in International Collaboration

The event was more than just an opportunity to share knowledge; it fostered meaningful connections and strengthened partnerships between nations. The study visit underscored the vital role of international collaboration in shaping responsive and resilient educational systems capable of addressing the rapidly evolving needs of the digital age.

Looking Ahead

As the DISCOVER project continues to break new ground in digital learning transformation, its vision of modernized, inclusive, and demand-driven VET systems grows closer to reality. The project is paving the way for a digitally empowered education landscape, not only in Tunisia but across borders.
