VET Sending. Asociación Mundus’ Can Europa 2019 has been selected by the European Commission as the second best event for promoting Vocational Education and Training, among more than 430 registered events. This fact represents a milestone for Asociación Mundus, whose mission is helping young and adult people developing their personal and professional skills through international experiences and non-formal education and training.

Can Europa consists in a pre­departure training for those VET students from Catalonia who are about to participate in an Erasmus+ traineeship in Europe. The aim of the activity is to provide the students who are going to leave on Erasmus+ traineeships with the necessary tools and information they will need during their training period abroad. The main outcome of the activity is that almost 350 VET students participated in different workshops to reduce their fears and uncertainties, and to increase their confidence and autonomy to face the experience.

This event promotes Vocational Education and Training in a direct way, since it is specifically designed for VET students to be more prepared whenever they decide to perform an internship period abroad.

The award implies that Mundus has been invited to take part on the European Vocational Skills Week in Helsinki from 14^th to 18^th October. This event is an initiative from the European Commission to raise awareness about Vocational Education and Training (VET) and increase its attractiveness.
