PROMOTE project has just released its second newsletter issue. In it you will find the latest news from this E+ project aiming at Promoting and Validating Key Competences in Mobility and Traineeships in Europe.

View the newsletter here.

PROMOTE aims at setting up holistic, needs driven and competence oriented open learning environments to promote and validate key competences at the interface of academic education and learning in practice business contexts. The project will focus on the following key competences (KC) relevant in students’ mobility and traineeships and continuous professional development (CPD) of employees in parallel:

•    KC6: social and civic competences
•    KC7: sense of initiative and entrepreneurship and
•    KC5: learning to learn

Reference frameworks are inexistent when it comes to validate mayor key competences, even though they are essential for our societies. PROMOTE aims at closing this gap by using one of the most effective ways of learning – learning in mobility – and validate the learning outcomes in regard to those key competences.
