Networking
UNEVOC Network
The most prominent of the Centre’s networks is the UNEVOC Network. The UNEVOC Network consists of far more than 200 specialised TVET institutions across more than 150 UNESCO Member States. Some of these are departments for TVET at ministries; others are planning, research and development institutions, training institutions or departments concerned with TVET at universities. What they all have in common, despite their diversity, is a position within the country in question that allows them to cooperate with other TVET stakeholders, both in their own country and worldwide. Ideally, these institutions are the hub of countrywide TVET networks, interacting with the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre, which itself is the hub of the worldwide UNEVOC Network. The UNEVOC Network is at the disposal of all interested institutions and individuals working in TVET. Details about all UNEVOC Centres are presented in the UNEVOC Directory. |
Regional Cooperation
In some regions in the world, UNEVOC Centres cooperate very actively, most often with colleagues in neighbouring countries. This occurs in the framework of sub-regional projects that the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre undertakes in various parts of the world. Such sub-regional projects are themselves part of other networks which include UNEVOC Centres as well as other relevant TVET institutions in the region in question. These institutions cooperate with one another with the aim of jointly reforming their TVET systems, and to benefit from each other’s knowledge and experience regarding best and innovative practices concerning TVET. In order to commence such an initiative, following the request of a region, the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre usually invites representatives from all countries of the region, particularly from UNEVOC Centres, to jointly identify topics for sub-regional cooperation in TVET. These topics are developed into projects and then implemented by stakeholders in the region, with support from the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre and, where required, donor assistance.
Electronic Mail Forums
In addition, UNEVOC Centres have the possibility to cooperate and communicate with partners from around the world. For this purpose, the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre maintains electronic mail forums. One such forum, the E-Circular, exists exclusively for UNEVOC Centres; and another, the E-Forum, links up a larger number of TVET experts and institutions worldwide, including UNEVOC Centres. |
