iEducate is a project for vocational teachers and trainers funded by the EU programme Leonardo da Vinci. The aim of the project is to transfer learning technology innovations and to provide access to a new generation of learners by using e-learning technology.

iEducate includes an interactive web 2.0 website, live and e-learning courses, and also a virtual teacher training island in Second Life with virtual workshops and resources. In addition lots of material is also made available for download and use.

In return for training and support the vocational teachers and trainers are encouraged to make their experiences and own technical developments available for others so that a continuous circle of exchange and transfer evolves across Europe.

The project is made up of six partners from: Bulgaria, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the UK and Sweden. It includes a wide range of complementary skills and expertise, for example: access to vast numbers of vocational teachers and trainers across Europe, on technologies for learning/e-learning, and  research, evaluation, experience and contacts to facilitate an effective dissemination/valorisation process.

Also part of the project are 4 thematic working groups for vocational teachers and trainers, which are meant for exchanging ideas and experiences with european colleagues:
 * Self employment and enterprise
 * Media, language and communication
 * Culture and heritage
 * ICT and Disabilities
