On 1-2 February the Green Circle partners met at Grupo Casais, in Braga Portugal.
The Green Circle partners convened at Grupo Casais in Braga, Portugal on 1 and 2 February 2024, in order to discuss and plan the first phase of the project, which includes a needs assessment of the existing microcredentials experience in the participating countries.
The Erasmus+ Green Circle Project, in which PEDMEDE participates, aims to identify, develop, test, and assess the use of micro-credentials in the construction sector to achieve a green transition, while demonstrating the potential for mainstreaming and transfer to other sectors.
At the european level, micro-credentials are defined as evidence of learning outcomes, that someone has achieved after the completion of a short-term educational process.
n addressing this aim Green Circle does not simply offer a collection of learning resources. The work carried out shows how a rigorous description of job profiles, learning needs, learning opportunities, and the relationships between them can, with appropriate technological support, facilitate the emergence of an ecosystem based on micro-credentials, and linking skills providers, employees, potential entrants to the workforce, and employers.
The outcome of the workwill be a sustainable model for micro-credentials in green transition skills in the construction sector, which can support the growth of a micro-credential based ecosystem in construction and across the economy.
Soon, the project will be present on social media and the project website will air, with all updates on its progress and results.
