LEARNING BADGES

Workshop on recognising and valuing competencies acquired in the field of non-formal education.

Let’s not allow the school to get in the way of good education.

What does the workshop give you?
The workshop will introduce youth workers and educators to the online and mobile app which helps them and the participants in their programmes to think about their personal, non-formal learning process and learning outcomes. Digital learning badges allow the users to evaluate and portray their knowledge in a fun and structured way.
The existing platform offers a systematic approach to all the gained non-formal knowledge and achievements, and shows how to present these to others, including potential employers.
