Project Summary

The Erasmus+ KA2 Partnership “3T-EH” connected – and still connects as we speak – 3 schools with a shared ambition to Train Today Tomorrow’s ECO Hairdressers!
Secondary VET schools in Iceland (Reykjavik), Finland (Helsinki) and Flanders (Ghent) decided to join forces to face the challenges of the Hairdressing business.
All three of them consider themselves as reference schools in their country in training professional hairdressers.
As customers/clients the last couple of years got far more demanding than in earlier days, this project tried to train and prepare future hairdressers to meet the new standards. As the needs of the clients changed, so did the profile, the competences and the skills of the future hairdresser.

Thanks to EU support the schools involved in this project have been able to exchange good practicises and innovative approaches.
In the second year of the two year program, young aspirant hairdressers from Flanders, Iceland and Finland were invited in the partnership schools to follow a 3 days course with training and workshops.
