Be part of the European Year of Skills Festival!

Fantastic stories of people who received training and improved their life conditions are everywhere around Europe.

We want these stories to have the relevance they deserve and inspire other people to enrol in training opportunities.

Are you part of one of these great stories? Do you know about projects that trained citizens with skills that changed their futures?

We are eager to hear your experiences and let you take part in the European Year of Skills Festival on 9 May 2023.

Some selected video stories will be showcased during the Festival on 9 May and promoted in the European Year of Skills Website.
