Workflow

O5-A1 Policy Discussion Paper
Discussion Paper on Open Badge Policies led by BEUTH: This results is a discussion paper on Open Badges at policy levels. It is a preliminary strategic document which aims at (a) identifying relevant stakeholders and creating awareness about Open Badges among identified key policy stakeholders in two policy areas: education and employment; (b) exploring opinions of policy stakeholders regarding potentials and risks of Open Badges in relation to education and employment policies in EU through consultations with selected experts; and (c) formulating recommendations about establishing relationships with existing EU tools/policies (EQF, ECVET, EHEA, Europass, ESCO, EQAVET). The ultimate aim is to formulate a rationale and provide recommendations for policy makers based on which a process of change and integration of Open Badges in educational, vocational and employment policies could be based, implemented and incorporated into policy frameworks such as Lifelong Learning and Open Education Policies.

  1. identifying relevant stakeholders and creating awareness about Open Badges among identified key policy stakeholders in two policy areas: education and employment,
  2. exploring opinions of policy stakeholders regarding potentials and risks of Open Badges in relation to education and employment policies in EU through consultations with selected experts,
  3. formulating recommendations about establishing relationships with existing EU tools/policies (EQF, ECVET, EHEA, Europass, ESCO, EQAVET) and incorporating badges into EU, national and sectoral policies.
