Fostering collaborative key-competences for employability through free-licensing & wiki methodologies

Abstract

In a context of deep economic crisis, the labour market requires new organisational systems and new processes. Among others, we highlight the need to upgrade skills, specifically regarding collaborative procedures and opportunities. Moreover, the Europe 2020 strategy acknowledges that a fundamental transformation of education and training is needed to address the new skills and competences required if Europe is to remain competitive (ET 2020). Wikinomics is a European project (Lifelong Learning Programme, 2013-2015) that aims to use free-culture and wiki methodologies as the basis for an innovative pedagogical methodology. Furthermore, Wikinomics is focused on vocational education that prepares people for specific careers at various levels. By adapting core competences and other data identified within the Wikiskills project, participants from different countries and vocational education sectors will validate the framework, modules and tools adapted to current and future labour market needs.This project has been funded with support from the European Commission.
