What was TB-GOBRA about?

At its core, TB-GOBRA aimed to strengthen vocational education and training (VET) in participating partner regions by:

• Promoting green organizational behavior, sustainability, and environmental awareness in workplaces and training environments.

• Developing teaching methodologies and capacity building tools tailored to rural organizations and VET systems.

• Fostering cooperation among VET providers and stakeholders to share and co-create best practices for green skills and team building.

A central output of the project is the TB-GOBRA Handbook and Manual, created to support educators, managers, and trainers in applying green organizational behavior frameworks in their work.

Clear relevance to European priorities

The project built cross-border collaboration between partner organizations in Germany, Finland, and Italy, each bringing their own expertise in sustainability, pedagogy, and rural development. Partners worked together throughout implementation and dissemination, enhancing mutual learning and shared ownership of results.

Practice-based learning and impact

TB-GOBRA focused on practical team building workshops and organizational analysis, enabling participants to apply what they learned directly in their training and workplace environments.

Exceptional Evaluation: 99 % Score

TB-GOBRA was evaluated by national agency and EU assessors with a remarkable 99 % score — an achievement that reflects excellence in:

Looking Ahead

The learning, tools, and good practices generated by TB-GOBRA are now being made available beyond the direct partnership, and are available on the website.

This ensures that green organizational competency and VET excellence are shared widely among VET providers, SMEs, and rural stakeholders throughout Europe.
