Title: Visible Skills Portfolio: The vehicle for informal and non-formal learning and 21st century skills readiness
Authors: Manickam, A., De Almeida Jardim, M. and Duarte de Almeida, P.M.
In a world characterized by rapid technological advancements and urgent environmental challenges, the need to cultivate 21st century skills has never been more critical. The European Commission underscores this necessity as essential for sustainable competitiveness, social equity, and societal resilience.
The VISKI consortium, through the innovative Visible Skills Portfolio (VISKIO) platform, is at the forefront of this paradigm shift. Our mission is clear: to empower individuals with the transversal skills and competencies essential for personal advancement, employability, and societal prosperity.
VISKIO’s unique approach revolves around Challenge-based Learning, a method designed to bridge formal and informal learning contexts. By enabling users to actively demonstrate their abilities through challenges, we are paving the way for a workforce that is not only job-ready but also equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern world.
At EDULEARN24, Hanze University will unveil our progress and plans in testing the VISKIO platform across diverse educational and business settings. This research seeks to validate VISKIO as a European-wide catalyst for informal and non-formal skill development, essential for creating a "21st-century-skills-ready" workforce.
The VISKI consortium believes that the adoption of VISKIO will revolutionize learner development and empower educational institutions to support non-formal and informal skill acquisition. Moreover, businesses stand to benefit by discovering talent with unique skill sets that traditional methods overlook.
Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this transformative journey towards a more sustainable, digitally adept future.
