21st Century skills explorer Get this badge

The holder of this badge took part in the study visit on 21st Century Skills for Adult Education Programmes in The Netherlands and Belgium from 10 till 14 January 2023 (excluding travel days). 
This study visit is a short 4 days stay in Rotterdam, Breda, Ghent and Antwerp and includes presentations and local visits to an NGO, an educational/training institution, social entrepreneurs, library and programs from municipalities. 
The study visit has been a forum for discussions, exchanges and learning about endorsements in entrepreneurial skills development in adult education.
This study visit has been an excellent opportunity to support and engross the mind about adult education and to enhance validation and recognition, and to extend European cooperations. Working together and reflecting on various job-related issues, sharing different point of views and local realities, discovering and accepting other ways of seeing things and many other positive aspects made both organisers and participants feel more like members of a common European space.
