Project Summary

Our project called “New Visions of Construction: Green Buildings” is about cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices.
Our aim with this project is to contribute to vocational education with international collaborations. The books and curricula that will emerge will provide textbooks that can be used jointly in EU countries. The textbooks and e-learning materials to be prepared will increase the proficiency of the students and teachers in our vocational and technical education schools. Since these resources will be prepared under the supervision of the representatives of the sector, they will also serve as a bridge in education and business. The results of the project will contribute to increase the quality of vocational training and to the creation of new business fields. Within the scope of the project, vocational teachers working in the field of construction and managers will increase their knowledge and competence about green building technology, and approximately 40,000 students studying in the field of construction technology will be informed about green building systems. The new textbooks to be created by the contribution made by the construction sector in the EU countries will be determined according to the needs of the industry, so that students will be able to join the business world before graduation.
One of the strongest points about our project is our institution and partners. The participants are really qualified and hardworking. We have made lots of online meetings during project preparation, and activities of the project are jointly determined.

The main objectives of our project are:
• To produce new vocational education curricula and modules on green building sector compatible with contemporary developments in our country and other partner countries,
• To lead the formation of accredited green building areas in our schools which provide vocational education especially secondary,
• To be able to meet the expectations that changing and improving construction sector that respects the environment with the global warming, ecological and aesthetic perspective of sector employees and potential customers,
• To strong awareness of construction sector target groups (civil engineers, architects, construction masters, contractors, high school and university students in vocational and technical education, policy makers…etc.) and relevant importance to Green Building System approach,
• To produce completely updated teaching materials with regard to Green Building System,
• To reduce the gap between demanded of sector employees & potantial customer and offered qualifications,
• To deliver a livable world and viable environment to future generations by means of enhancing perspective on energy conservation, sustainable natural resource management, improved environmental ethics etc.
• To enhance and exploit the results dissemination in Turkey, Europe and as many countries as possible.

Some of the results of the activities that will help us reach our goal are stated below:
– Teachers will follow developments in the related sector and the labor market needs and guide the students in this direction.
– Vocational and technical education schools and institutions will cooperate with SMEs and large scale companies in the field of industrial research and development.
– The proposed project will prepare a module and curriculum that will enable IAB member countries and our country to learn green building technologies for students studying construction technology in vocational and technical education schools. This will allow students to be employed in the near future.
– At the end of the project, Green Building Systems textbooks and contents will be developed as a result of curriculum determined according to EQF and TQF levels to be taught in EU member countries and our country VET schools.
