STUDY VISIT21st century skills competence frameworks and assessment -﻿
Arrival day Monday 8 May 2023 
Study visit days: 9, 10, 11 and 12 May 2023 
Departure day 13 May 2023
﻿
We are thrilled to be hosting the study visit exchange of perspectives on competence frameworks and assessment of the 21st century skills in adult education programmes, taking place in the city of Lisbon, Portugal. 
This Study Visit is part of the project 21st century skills recognition for adults in Cities of Learning.
﻿
We refer in this project to 21st century skills, which we see as a broad set of knowledge, skills, work habits and character qualities for people in ensuring well-being, civic engagement and employment. This set of skills also includes digital skills and literacies necessary to harness digital transformation.
﻿
Programme
It will be a 4 days (+travel days) study visit for staff members of the partner organisations. The topic of the visit will be an exchange of perspectives on competence frameworks and 360° assessment of 21st century skills in adult education programmes. It is important to note that we will approach assessment in adult education by focusing on a combination of self-assessment, peer review and assessment provided by the staff of education programmes.
You will have the chance to meet organisations from Belgium, The Netherlands, Portugal, Curacao, and Lithuania. We will use the Cities of Learning platform and digital Open Badges to recognise 21st-century skills.
The study visit will take place in Lisbon, Portugal. The hosting partners will take care of the organisational and logistic aspects of the study visit.
You can find the programme of the study visit here. Please note it is a preliminary programme, and there might be some changes.

The objective of this visit is to exchange 21st century skills frameworks and assessment systems used in participating countries with a special focus on practices in Portugal and Lisbon. 
﻿
The objective of this activity is to gain an understanding of the various pillars and services provided by ANQEP, the National Agency for Qualification and Vocational Education and Training in Portugal. ANQEP is responsible for promoting and developing lifelong learning, with a focus on vocational education and training.
﻿
During this visit, we will have the opportunity to learn about ANQEP's initiatives in the areas of qualification, validation, and recognition of competencies acquired throughout life, as well as their support programs for training and professional integration.
﻿
We will also explore ANQEP's role in the development and implementation of national strategies for the promotion of digital skills and entrepreneurship. Through interactive discussions and presentations, we will exchange knowledge and best practices on how to effectively support citizens and organizations in developing the skills necessary to thrive in the 21st century society.
﻿
At the end of this activity, participants will have gained a comprehensive understanding of ANQEP's mission, initiatives, and services, and will have acquired insights into the challenges and best practices in promoting and developing lifelong learning and 21st-century skills in Portugal. The exchange of ideas and experiences will enable participants to adapt and improve their own training programs and strategies.
