Design Circles Platform
Building upon the foundations of our Design Thinking Manual and EDUckathons Guide, the Design Circles Platform bridges the gap between conceptual frameworks and real-world VET practice.
The platform equips Vocational Education and Training (VET) professionals with actionable activities and supporting tools. Each challenge includes hands-on activities available in Individual, Group, and Online formats, accompanied by practical tools for Diagnosis, Planning, and Assessment.
Explore resources across five core European VET priorities to empower your training community.
