Aim and objectives: Quality Label serves as a recognised standard and distinction of digital badge recognition. It shows that badge issuers awarded the label have demonstrated expertise, dedication to established procedures, and a commitment to upholding high standards in using digital open badges for recognition. 
This training aims to develop knowledge, understanding and competencies related to the Quality Label, a novel standard we are establishing for badge issuers.

Develop your capacity to implement the Quality Label standard and procedures in your organisation.
Connect and network with like-minded professionals and experts across education, training and youth fields.

Future opportunities:After participating in this training, you will be supported in becoming a trainer and coach to help other learning providers implement badge recognition and quality standards in your country and within the Cities of Learning Network. 
With our team's support, you can train local badge issuers seeking better quality and broader recognition of learning activities and outcomes within and beyond non-formal learning and youth work fields.
Furthermore, you will have the chance to be part of an International Expert Seminar taking place in the Netherlands in January 2025.

It's an excellent opportunity to provide recommendations, gain support, and demonstrate the collective achievements in the field.
