Ghada Krayem’s story from Palestine is among the 11 Green Skills Award finalists unveiled by the European Training Foundation today. These finalists represent the best stories in skills development to empower the green transition. The three award winners will be selected via an online vote open to the public until 24 June.

The ETF will announce the winners at the online event ‘Building lifelong learning systems: skills for green and inclusive societies in the digital era’ to be organised jointly with UNESCO, with the collaboration of EBRD, ILO and UNICEF on 21-25 June 2021.

The finalists were selected among applicants to an ETF call for good practice entitled ’Green transition: education,  training and skills’. The aim of the call was to collect stories about how education, training and skills development are supporting the shift towards sustainable, clean, carbon-neutral circular economies and societies. The selected cases will provide ideas and inspiration for education and training policy-makers and practitioners in the EU neighbourhood and beyond.

Ghada Krayem, a Palestine refugee, received vocational training on installation, operating, maintenance and programming of Solar Photovoltaic Systems at UNRWA TVET centre in Gaza.
