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.

Learning Across Continents: Conversations in a divided world

VETNET

Topics:

  • How do we understand the role of VET in preparing young people for work when labour markets and workplaces are in flux nationally and internationally?
  • Is this changing the nature of VET and VET curricula? Is it raising new questions on work, labour markets and education? What is core to VET that is stable across different contexts?
  • Are systems looking more similar or more different from each other?
  • What are the main factors—such as workplace organisation, changing labour markets, changing enrolment in schools and universities, and the nature of economies that are influencing different aspects of VET provision—such as curriculum, governance, partnerships, enrollment patterns—in different countries?
  • How do we connect better as researchers, and use VET research to build connection?
