Guide for training centers and educators

If you provide training and education for adults, badges can allow to support learners by showing they master competences and that they have skills and behaviours required by companies.

The Guide for educational institutions (EN)  explains what is an Open Badge and answers all your questions for a practical deployment in your organisation. It is also available in German, Spanish, French, Swedish and Slovene.

The Guide fo educators (EN) develops awareness about badges, it shows how to create them and how to integrate them in a learning path. It is also available in German, Spanish, French, Swedish and Slovene.

About us

The Open Badges for adult education project involves
5 organisations in Europe

The project is coordinated by the Greta du Velay.

 

The OpenBadges project

The objective of our project is to test and promote the use of Mozilla Open Badges among adult education organisations, educators and learners at ground level.

We will explore how we can valorise the key competences of learners as well as the behaviours and skills that are particularly demanded by employers such as the capacity to adapt, to work in group or to respect deadlines. Our work is in line with the identification, documentation and validation of non formal and informal learning as most of these skills and attitudes are developed in various contexts and do not constitute the key components of certificates or diplomas competency frameworks.
