Gear up

GEAR Up! is a European project that promotes young people's well-being and supports them in making informed choices for their future. Its aim is to strengthen the role of guidance as a key tool for recognizing talents, preventing school dropout, and fostering student engagement, contributing to the creation of more inclusive and motivating educational environments.

Through joint work among schools, training centers, universities, and educational organizations from six European countries (Italy, Germany, Poland, Greece, Croatia, and Spain), the project provides teachers, guidance counselors, and trainers with practical tools and specific skills to support young people in their personal development and career choices.

GEAR Up! promotes a participatory and co-creative approach to guidance, actively involving students, families, and local communities. Building on the experience of the Erasmus+ project "Talent Space," it expands its impact and contributes to the creation of a European network for inclusive guidance, aligned with Goal 4 of the 2030 Agenda and the 2024 eTwinning theme "Well-being at School."

Project activities:

• GEAR Handbook and MOOC to share a common framework on school and career guidance;
• GEAR Up! European Manifesto to promote a shared and inclusive vision of guidance;
• Two Talent Spaces: one in Croatia (focus: peer education) and one in Germany (focus: inclusion of special needs);
• A European career video library to bring young people closer to the world of work in a practical way;
• Local and international events, both online and in person, to share and spread best practices.

Target groups:

• Teachers, trainers, and guidance counselors, with particular attention to the role of schools and vocational training centers;
• Students, who will be active participants in the guidance and talent discovery paths;
