The responses highlighted the promotion of a more sustainable vision for students
within their specific education and training spheres, which in turn encourages learners
to deal with a new situation regarding industry environmental policy, or changing
public perspective on environmental issues, for example as well as improved and
greater understanding of ecological issues and awareness of climate change for both
trainers and learners.
Integration of a green strategy in VET provision requires significant changes in many
aspects of pedagogical delivery, but also encourages teachers to find innovative means
of conducting lessons including practices that may have been rejected previously.

Relating to education and training, respondents replied that green strategies generally
have a positive effect on learners’ relationship with school and learning, as it provides
an opportunity to carry out their work creatively rather than monotonously, as well as
for individual contributions and suggestions for improvement.
