Young people from different European countries will gather in Van between 22 and 30 September 2025 for an unforgettable experience. Coordinated by the VAGEAD Association, the ‘Balance Beyond Borders (3B)’ project is being carried out under the Erasmus+ programme and aims to empower young people both individually and socially.

The Amber Bridges National Workshop in Türkiye was successfully held by VAGEAD on 21 June 2025 in Van, with the participation of over 50 attendees, including educators, VET students, and local stakeholders. The event presented the project results, especially the final E-book, and fostered dialogue on inclusive and digital vocational education.

This book explores how digital transformation, innovative teaching methodologies, and inclusive strategies are reshaping vocational education in Türkiye, Latvia, and across Europe. It serves as a guide for educators, policymakers, and vocational trainers, offering case studies, best practices, and future opportunities.

We had cultural visit to Van City centre. We started our day with traditional Van breakfast, and then we continued our journey to the Van Castle and then Van Cat house. Afternoon young people had free time to explore.
