Mundus is excited to kick off SHINE – Solar Hands‑on training and International Network of Exchange – a pioneering 36‑month Erasmus+ Capacity Building in VET project co‑financed by the European Commission. This initiative brings together 10 organisations across 6 countries (Spain, Greece, the Netherlands; and Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda) to empower youth in Africa with sustainable green‑energy skills
What is SHINE?
SHINE aims to address the technical, digital, and entrepreneurial skills gap in solar photovoltaic technology. The project will co-create, pilot, and roll out a cutting‑edge hybrid training curriculum in VET centres, combined with digital tools and mobility opportunities, to prepare young African professionals for green‑energy careers .
Mundus’s Role
As the project coordinator, Mundus oversees governance, quality assurance, and international communication. Our history of education cooperation in over 18 African countries ensures a solid foundation for delivering practical, impact‑oriented green-energy training.
What’s Next for SHINE
- Research & mapping of solar‑VET landscape in Ghana, Nigeria, and Uganda
- Design & teacher training of the SHINE hybrid curriculum
- Pilot workshops in partner VET institutions
- Student and staff mobility across Europe and Africa
- Communication, dissemination and networking to amplify impact
