The Project

Context and Objectives

The construction sector is undergoing  major changes, driven by technological innovation, digitalization, and a growing focus on environmental sustainability. Dry construction systems offer an effective response to these challenges, reducing environmental impact, improving work quality, and increasing site efficiency.

However, the European region shows significant differences in terms of innovative techniques implementation and related vocational training.

In light of this, European Ediltrophy is meant to:

  • Promote the implementation of dry construction systems and related capacity development 
  • Develop innovative training programs for workers and technicians, adaptable to different national contexts.
  • Encourage the use of digital tools and new technologies in the design and construction of dry structures.
  • Introduce the Gaming Ediltrophy for technicians and workers as an innovative methodology suitable for further replication within the European region and different productive sectors.
  • Promote vocational training and employment opportunities within the construction sector for disadvantaged cathegories (migrants, vulnerable groups, and long-term unemployed individuals) 
  • Strengthen the cooperation among training entities, the private sector, and relevant organizations towards a sustainable sectoral development .

Methodology and Expected Results

The project intends promote to an effective and engaging learning experience. based on an innovative approach combining training activities, digital solutions and gaming methodology.

Methodology:

  • Sector analysis in partner countries to map the regulatory framework as well as vocational training needs and required competences.
  • Pilot training programs for workers and technicians offering innovative learning materials and digital tools.
  • Gaming-based methodology fostering interactive and hands-on learning.
  • Best practices sharing among partners to standardize competences and related capacity development process a the European level.

Expected Results:

  • Increased dry construction-related capacities
  • Standardized training tools developed and adaptable to other contexts 
  • Digital and environmental-sensitive competences in the construction sector enhanced
  • Cooperation  among companies, training entities and relevant organizations developed within the construction sector
    • Social inclusion of disadvantaged groups promoted through vocational training and  employment opportunities.
