EVBB EU Policy Camp & Annual Conference 2025

Open Schooling – New Horizons for VET Brussels | 30 September – 3 October 2025

Welcome to the EVBB EU Policy Camp 2025 – Open Schooling Edition

Ready to rethink the future of Vocational Education and Training (VET)?

This year’s edition of the EVBB EU Policy Camp returns to Brussels, bringing together over 150 professionals, educators, learners, policymakers, and community stakeholders from across Europe. Over four days, participants will explore how VET systems can become more inclusive, more collaborative, and more connected to the communities they serve.

What’s This Year’s Focus?

Οpen Schooling — a transformative approach that positions VET institutions as co-creation hubs. By engaging families, municipalities, NGOs, companies, and research institutions, Open Schooling helps VET providers respond directly to real-world challenges, expanding learning beyond the traditional classroom and into the community.
