Impact

In terms of impact, PaViVET has already trained 15 catalysts and 75 multipliers, directly benefiting 150 students and reaching over 450 people in total. However, numbers are only part of the story. Behind each figure are people who have improved their digital skills, gained confidence, and are transforming the way teaching and learning take place in work environments for people with special needs.

Our commitment goes beyond training. We actively share our learnings with the educational and professional community so that the PaViVET methodology continues to grow and replicate. With this goal, we organize regional events for instructors in each participating country, as well as an international virtual conference and several multiplier events in Spain, Finland, and Germany. These spaces serve as true forums for exchange and co-creation, where new ideas emerge, experiences are shared, and alliances are built to ensure the sustainability and future of the project.

In Spain, the first multiplier event was held on June 30 at CIPFP Canastell, with the participation of students from that center and IES Leonardo Da Vinci. During the event, the project results were presented, and videos created by the students were screened. Representatives from Fundeun, APDA Aspe, Pastamanía Restauración S.L., and the General Directorate of Vocational Training participated in a session that recognized the best productions with awards and concluded with a roundtable discussion on audiovisual media as a tool for inclusion in vocational education.

The second multiplier event took place on September 24 at the Museum of Fine Arts of Castellón. Students and teachers from IES El Caminàs and IES Benigasló participated, along with representatives from Fundeun, the General Directorate of Vocational Training, faculty from the Image and Sound Department of IES Vila-roja (Almassora), and experts from the Down Syndrome Foundation of Castellón, among others. As in the previous event, videos created by students were presented, awards were given for the best production, and discussions were held on social and labor inclusion as well as educational inclusion.

In Germany, at the end of August, the entity LAG Werkstatträte Bayern held its annual closed-door meeting, a participatory event where members reflected on the future of occupational workshops, attended talks on inclusion, and shared the progress of their regional working groups. Within this framework, the PaViVET project was presented, sparking great interest as a European example of innovation in inclusion and training.

Meanwhile, in Finland, one of the Ammattiopisto Spesia centers, located in Turku, held its multiplier event on October 6. Throughout the project, students developed storytelling, scripting, filming, and video-editing skills, exploring how to represent work processes in audiovisual format. The event included the presentation of videos created by students, an explanation of the project, a discussion on digital skills and micro-credentials, and a session for questions and collaborative ideation.

On September 17, the International Virtual Conference was held, serving as the culmination of the project’s final phase and coinciding with the Final Meeting in Germany. The conference took place from one of the KJF Werkstätten facilities, which hosted the meeting, and brought together all the partners of the European consortium.

The event, developed in a hybrid format —with in-person participation from Germany and virtual connections from various European countries— brought together professionals in education, vocational training, inclusion, and pedagogical innovation. Among the registered participants were representatives and organizations from Moldova, Turkey, Slovenia, Malta, North Macedonia, and Portugal, as well as entities from Spain, Germany, and Finland.

The conference provided an opportunity to share the project’s main results and lessons learned, highlighting the value of audiovisual media as a tool for inclusion and empowerment for students with disabilities. It also served to strengthen partnerships and foster new collaborations, consolidating PaViVET as a European model of innovation and best practices in inclusive vocational education.
