MCAST hosted twenty-six participants from Cyprus, Latvia, Russia and Uzbekistan for the 6th transnational meeting of the Erasmus+ RUECVET project.

This project sees European partners supporting Russian and Uzbek colleges and universities in their implementation of the ECVET system, and also facilitate the mobility of students from one education institution to another during their studies.

A key outcome of this project was the conversion of a number of units, delivered in Russian and Uzbek institutions, to units of learning outcomes.

Another highlight was the setting up of four training centres - two in Russia and two in Uzbekistan - to provide training in ECVET to VET professionals. Further information on the project can be found in www.ruecvet.ru.

Participants at the meeting also met with Prof James Calleja, MCAST Principal and CEO, who is also President of the European Forum of Technical and Vocational Education and Training.

Although the Erasmus+ RUECVET project is nearing its end, MCAST remains committed to explore further collaborative partnerships with foreign educational institutions in an effort to share best practices and ultimately offer an improved learning experience to students.
