The ECEPT pilot project aiming the introduction in the VET system of the cooperative pedagogy method supported by e-learning technologies. The cooperative pedagogy is an excellent method to improve the social and professional skills of the youngsters like, communication skill, co-operational skill, problem solving skill, ICT skill, team working skill, group working skill etc.

1. In the framework of the pilot programme we would like to work out a common e-learning based tool for the methodological basic and further training of VET teachers called E-learning Tool for Cooperative-learning (ETC).
2. It is also an aim of the ECEPT project to support the introduction of the cooperative pedagogy in the daily practice of the VET schools. For this reason the partners are going to select 4-5 sectors where they can work out some E-learning Supported Exercise for Cooperative-learning (ESEC). On the base of the ESEC-s the promoting organisation will create a data base which will be play the role of the exercise machine during the pilot and the follow up trainings.
3. To test the usefulness of the ETC and ESEC tools we would like to realize a pilot of networking between the VET training providers used the cooperative pedagogy method and the e-learning tool. These training providers will be the workplace of the teachers whose were participated in the teacher further training course.
