The 3-H (Head Heart Hand) project is based on the assumption that VET must provide holistic education, i.e. education that takes into account cognitive intelligence (head), socio–emotional intelligence (heart) and manual intelligence (hand) to the same extent.
The project aims to:
- Develop knowledge and methods for teachers to address social-emotional aspects.
- Create a welcoming model for the first months of VET students.
- Adopt practices that enhance student well-being and motivation.
- Develop PBL experiences to build socio-emotional skills and contextual learning.
The 3-H project seeks to reduce unmotivated VET learners by promoting teaching methods that value socio-emotional competences.
Objectives:
- Equip teachers to manage student demotivation and integrate social-emotional perspectives.
- Improve pupils’ learning capacity by developing skills for managing social-emotional aspects.
