Numéro #20 - décembre 2024

Chères lectrices, chers lecteurs,

Maintenant que nous approchons de la fin de l’année 2024, il est exaltant de passer en revue le haut niveau d’activité au sein du Réseau UNEVOC, en particulier dans les domaines des compétences vertes et numériques. Ce dernier numéro du Bulletin trimestriel de l’UNEVOC présente diverses initiatives, publications et manifestations de premier plan.

Le rapport du groupe d’experts BILT sur les compétences vertes et numériques pour l’hôtellerie et le tourisme souligne l’intersection critique entre les transformations verte et numérique dans les systèmes d’EFTP. Le secteur est responsable de 8 % des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, mettant en évidence l’urgente nécessité de nouveaux ensembles de compétences.

Pendant cette période marquée par des défis énormes et un rapide développement, l’innovation est à l’ordre du jour pour les prestataires d’EFTP. Les ateliers d’autoréflexion organisés en Asie et en Afrique ont joué un rôle capital, aidant les institutions à évaluer et renforcer leur capacité à intégrer des compétences et qualifications nouvelles.

Au Népal, un dialogue sur la politique d’EFTP a rassemblé plus d’une centaine de parties prenantes qui ont discuté de l’avenir du secteur de l’EFTP dans le pays. Le dialogue était centré sur l’écologisation, la transformation numérique et l’engagement du secteur privé. De même en Chine, où l’atelier de leadership en EFTP sur la transformation numérique organisé à Shenzhen a réuni des responsables de l’EFTP pour examiner les questions liées à la transformation numérique dans l’EFTP.

Ces manifestations de premier plan, avec nombre d’autres activités et partenariats décrits dans ce numéro du bulletin trimestriel, reflètent l’engagement que nous déployons sans relâche pour faire progresser l’EFTP et répondre à l’évolution des besoins de la main-d’œuvre. Alors que 2025 approche à grands pas, continuons à innover et à collaborer pour faire en sorte que l’EFTP reste un puissant moteur du développement durable et de la résilience économique.

L’équipe de l’UNESCO-UNEVOC vous adresse ses meilleurs vœux et vous souhaite une bonne et heureuse fin d’année
