CLIVE aims to provide a response to a set of needs directly related to needs of the participating VET colleges and the demands for modernisation of the educational systems in Europe.  

VET colleges have a responsibility to provide their students with education that will enable them to acclimate to an increasingly globalised, competitive and complex environment. In such an environment, creativity, the ability to innovate, a sense of initiative, entrepreneurship and a commitment to continue learning are just as important as the specific knowledge of a given subject. Current training and education does not meet the demands of organisations and companies for employees with innovative, problem solving and entrepreneurial capacities. Policies that embed creativity and innovation in VET college curricula is lacking. 

The fundamental change that the project wants to contribute to is the strengthening of VET teachers so they can provide better education to students and thus equip students better for the future working live. In addition, the Impact that CLIVE desires to create is the achievement of local communities of enthusiastic VET teachers and VET board around the topic of creativity techniques.
