It also provided the opportunity to present Sokrates / Grundvig projects and network with partners, promoters, national and EU representatives and other participants who are interested in vocational training. Vocational training experts shared their knowledge on intercultural communication, business & learning competences, a key factor in networked economies and in the education and training sector.
