SHOREWINNER Showcased at COP CoVEs Forum 2025 in Kolding, Denmark

On 8–9 September 2025, SHOREWINNER Project proudly participated in the Community of Practice for Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoP CoVEs) Forum 2025 held in Kolding, Denmark. The annual Forum brought together leading initiatives from across Europe to exchange knowledge, strengthen networks, and highlight innovative approaches to vocational education and training (VET).

As part of the Forum, the SHOREWINNER Project team contributed to the T-Shore workshop: “Building and Expanding Europe’s Future: T-shore’s Vision for a Strong CoVE Network”, which took place on 9 September. This interactive session explored how collaboration across Centres of Vocational Excellence can deliver long-term value for regions, industries, and learners.

Representing SHOREWINNER, Project Leader, Teresa Nogueira and Ilona-Elefteryja Lasica, delivered a joint presentation showcasing the project’s role in strengthening vocational excellence in Southern Europe. Together with partners from Wind Energy Ireland, Skive College (Denmark), POM West-Vlaanderen (Belgium), and Katapult (Netherlands), the workshop highlighted how T-Shore and SHOREWINNER are already working hand-in-hand to foster cross-border cooperation, industry engagement, and peer learning.

The session featured short presentations, dialogue, live audience input via Slido, and a panel discussion involving education and industry representatives. Key messages included the importance of cross-CoVE collaboration, structured peer learning, and designing projects that evolve based on real partnership and regional needs.

By participating in Forum 2025, SHOREWINNER Project reinforced its commitment to shaping the future of vocational excellence in Europe. The project will continue to work closely with European partners to ensure that vocational education systems remain responsive, innovative, and aligned with the needs of both learners and industries.
