Tasks
Task no.1
Issued by organiser or scanning QR code
To enrich your earned badge you can reflect on the following questions:
  1. How could the Cities of Learning framework, with its emphasis on mapping learning opportunities and issuing Open Badges, be adapted or integrated into your current youth work practices to better support young people's skill development and recognition?
  2. Considering the examples from Ljubljana, Rotterdam, Lisbon and Vilnius, what are some potential challenges and opportunities you foresee in implementing a Cities of Learning initiative in your own city or region, particularly in fostering collaboration between diverse stakeholders (public sector, civil society, and businesses)?
