Skills for You(th) through Sport HANDBOOK
Skills for You(th) through Sport, known as the SK4YS project is a transnational initiative gathering various stakeholders with strong expertise and interest in skills development in and through sport. The initiative has been designed to raise awareness on soft skills and competencies gained through sport and to build the capacity of sport and youth organisations to implement sport-based youth development programmes. Additionally, the project aims to increase recognition of transferable skills that sport can develop for young people – especially those not in employment, education or training (NEETs).

EntreComp: The Entrepreneurship Competence Framework
The European Commission has proposed ‘A New Skills Agenda for Europe: Working together to strengthen human capital, employability and competitiveness’ to address the skills challenges that Europe is currently facing. The aim is that everyone should have the key set of competences needed for personal development, social inclusion, active citizenship and employment. These competences include literacy, numeracy, science and foreign languages, as well as more transversal skills such as digital competence, entrepreneurship competence, critical thinking, problem solving or learning to learn. The Entrepreneurship Competence Framework, also known as EntreComp, offers a tool to improve the entrepreneurial capacity of European citizens and organisations. The framework aims to build consensus around a common understanding of entrepreneurship competence by defining 3 competence areas, a list of 15 competences, learning outcomes and proficiency levels, which current and future initiatives can refer to. © European Union, 2016 Margherita Bacigalupo, Panagiotis Kampylis, Yves Punie, Godelieve Van den Brande Read More -

Open Book of Educational Innovation
Innovation in education is a tough challenge: it is hard to identify it and to know when it can be considered mature enough to be evaluated. With an already busy schedule, innovative educators rarely have the time to communicate about their work, and the term ‘innovation’ itself can in different circumstances be inflated or shied away from. © European Schoolnet Authors: Alexandra Hanna Licht, Evita Tasiopoulou, Patricia Wastiau Editors: Roger Blamire, Ed Prosser Coordination: Caroline Kearney, Jessica Massini, Danosh Nasrollahi Design: Iddi fix Read More -

Classification of learning activities (CLA) MANUAL
Since the treaties of Maastricht and Amsterdam included education and training as part of action at Community level, lifelong learning has been a key element of the education and training policy in Europe. The concept of lifelong learning (LLL) is not simply a summing up of traditional education programmes and modern learning opportunities. While traditional educational institutions have been (and still are) primarily concerned with transmitting knowledge, modern learning opportunities and the LLL approach emphasize the development of individual capabilities and each person’s capacity to learn. © European Union, 2016 Read More -

Governance and financing of apprenticeships
Apprenticeships have been widely acknowledged as an important policy tool to respond to the current socioeconomic challenges that the European Union (EU) faces, and in particular high youth unemployment. As evidence suggests, combining school-based teaching with company-based training eases the transition from education to work. Indeed, those countries with well-established apprenticeship systems experience lower levels of youth unemployment. © European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop), 2016; Cedefop (2016).
