Inside Validation — let’s talk!

Online-Barcamp für Validierungspraktiker:innen

Veranstalter: wba in Kooperation mit dem Bundesinstitut für Erwachsenenbildung

Ziel ist der Austausch von Personen, die im Bereich der Kompetenzanerkennung arbeiten und Interesse haben, von anderen Praktiker:innen zu lernen und durch den Austausch ihre beruf­li­che Handlungsfähigkeit zu stärken.

Das Barcamp wird von der wba in Kooperation mit dem Bundesinstitut für Erwachsenenbildung angeboten und von Gaby Filzmoser (ARGE Bildungshäuser Österreich) moderiert.

 Was ist ein Barcamp?

Ein Barcamp ist eine Art Konferenz, ähnlich dem Open Space, welches aller­dings keine fix fest­ge­leg­ten Vortragende und keine the­ma­tisch fest­ge­leg­ten Workshops anbietet. Barcamps sind aus dem Bedürfnis von Menschen ent­stan­den, sich in einer offenen Umgebung aus­zu­tau­schen und von­ein­an­der zu lernen. Es ist eine intensive Veranstaltung mit Diskussionen, Präsentationen und Interaktion der Teilnehmenden unter­ein­an­der. Alle, die etwas bei­zu­tra­gen haben oder etwas lernen wollen, sind will­kom­men und herzlich ein­ge­la­den mit­zu­ma­chen. Für den Fall, dass du mitmachst, stell dich darauf ein, dich mit anderen Barcampenden aus­zu­tau­schen. Wenn du gehst, sei bereit, deine Erfahrungen mit dem Rest der Welt zu teilen.

 Wer kann teilnehmen?

Eingeladen sind alle, die mit Kompetenzanerkennung und Kompetenzberatung arbeiten und ihr Wissen zu diesem Thema teilen möchten. Im Zentrum stehen Praxisfragen der Validierung und weniger theo­re­ti­sche und bil­dungs­po­li­ti­sche Aspekte, auch wenn letztere natürlich ebenso ange­spro­chen werden können.

Learning to Learn through Micro-Credentials in a Regional Setting

International Seminar

LUMSA University

The closing event of the Erasmus+ project Learning to Learn through Micro-Credentials in a Regional Setting (L2L MicroCred) will present the project results, further exploring possible implementation in the twinning regions. The project develops open-access micro-credentials to promote lifelong learning, employability and social inclusion. Launched in November 2024, the project brings together four partner universities – Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, University of Limerick, LUMSA University and Central Queensland University – in an international collaboration aimed at developing innovative, flexible and inclusive educational opportunities for adults in different regional contexts. The seminar will offer the opportunity to learn about and discuss the main results achieved during the project. The micro-credentials developed by the partner universities will be presented, together with the Learning Design Toolbox, a digital and operational guide for the design of short, inclusive training courses capable of fostering the involvement and motivation of adults in training. The program also includes a discussion on the possibilities of transferring, adapting and enhancing the results of the project in additional educational, professional and territorial contexts. Participation is free upon registration by filling out the following form: https://forms.gle/ADY2LbY1Aojijrj29

Sustainability in Vocational Education and Training (VET)

5th G.R.E.A.T. Conference

German Research Center for Comparative Vocational Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.), University of Cologne

The conference will address current issues and findings within the context of sustainability in VET. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), initiated in 2015 in the United Nations’ publication ‘Transforming our World’, declare VET as a central aspect of Goal 4 of the SDGs, which aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” (UN, 2015, 17). Within the context of the conference, a broad understanding of the concept of sustainability will be applied, integrating scientific papers from a wide range of perspectives. Consequently, both conceptual and empirical contributions are welcomed. In addition to ecological topics, social and economic issues can also be the focus of investigation, whether at the macro, meso or micro-level of VET. Contributions may also focus on formal, non-formal, or informal learning, as well as on topics such as green VET, gender, migration, demographic change, AI, or other areas that can be meaningfully linked to sustainability in VET. The call for papers is open until 15 January 2026
