Cities of Learning Community Calls

Content

Join our vibrant community calls where passionate individuals from diverse backgrounds gather to share knowledge, insights, and experiences about the cities they call home. A Community Call is a virtual meeting space that serves as a hub for collaborative learning, fostering connections among learners, educators, and enthusiasts.
﻿
In this playlist, you'll discover engaging presentations and you can chat with peers during the community calls on a wide range of topics, from island development and sustainable practices to municipality initiatives or a Quality Label for Open Badges. Our expert speakers and community members come together to explore the unique learning opportunities that communities offer.
﻿
Whether you're interested in discovering new perspectives on city planning, diving into the rich tapestry of island cultures, or exploring groundbreaking educational strategies, our Community Calls provide a platform to learn, connect, and grow a City of Learning Platform. Tune in to gain valuable insights, share your experiences, and be a part of a global community dedicated to continuous learning in the ever-evolving landscape of cities, regions, islands and many more communities.

Are you passionate about enhancing the recognition of learning activities and outcomes through Open Badges? Join us for a dynamic conversation as we take a significant step toward establishing a quality standard for badge issuers!
In this project, we are proud to introduce the "Quality Label for Badge Recognition." Six Cities of Learning partners are leading the charge in developing and piloting this groundbreaking initiative.﻿﻿
﻿
Our mission is clear: To create badge recognition strategies that are tailored to individual countries while building a shared European strategy for broader recognition within and beyond non-formal learning and youth work.
By 2025, we aim to expand our network capacity, consolidating efforts to impact local, regional, national, and European recognition policies and practices in non-formal learning and youth work. 
Our specific goals include: 
Researching and mapping national and European validation and recognition systems Developing country-specific badge recognition strategies 
Creating a shared European badge recognition strategy 
Facilitating stakeholder engagement on badge recognition strategies at both local and European levels
﻿
Let's shape the future of recognition together.
