    Learning to Learn through Micro-Credentials in a Regional Setting

    International Seminar

    Veranstalter: 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

    Social Aims of Vocational Education and Training

    33rd annual VET & Culture Meeting 2026

    VET & Culture Network

    Across diverse cultural and socio-economic contexts, vocational education and training (VET) systems pursue a complex balance of aims.  While the economic aim of providing a skilled workforce for the labour market often dominates policy discourse, VET also serves important social aims. These aims, and the ways they are prioritized, are shaped by different political cultures, conflicting values and specific conceptions about education, work, and citizenship.

    The 33rd VET & Culture meeting will provide an opportunity to examine from a comparative perspective, how social aims are understood and implemented in VET across different political and cultural contexts.

    Call for papers open until 15 February 2026

    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
