About Us

Our Mission

The VET EcoLume Project sets out to cultivate skilled professionals in sustainable urban lighting. By combining education, cross-cultural collaboration, and advocacy, our goal is to reduce light pollution’s impact on both the environment and human well-being. We are focused on three main areas:

Education: Developing a specialized VET curriculum to equip learners with the skills needed to mitigate light pollution.
Collaboration: Fostering cross-cultural exchange between Europe and Latin America to share best practices for sustainable lighting.
Advocacy: Raising awareness and promoting policy changes to encourage environmentally friendly lighting practices.

Through this multi-faceted approach, VET EcoLume contributes to achieving green and digital skills, vital for the labor market’s evolving needs, especially in response to global environmental challenges.

Our Goals

Create Specialized VET Curricula: Equip learners with knowledge and skills to combat light pollution through the creation of a VET curriculum tailored for both European and Latin American contexts.
Foster International Collaboration: Establish a platform for sharing research and innovations between VET institutions in Europe and Latin America.
Raise Awareness: Launch campaigns to educate the public about sustainable lighting practices and the importance of reducing light pollution.
Promote Sustainable Urban Development: Advocate for policies and solutions that improve energy efficiency and preserve natural ecosystems.
