Home FRAMEWORK — FutureWe Why do students start school with a creative lateral thinking rating of 98% but finish with 12%, especially when its been identified as one of THE key future skills? A focus on this literacy means students and workers will be able to have the big picture ‘metanoia’ perspective they will need. > Incorporates open play, curiosity, harnessing failure, resilience, growth mindset and valuing divergent thinking. Having the best solution or project are great but to truly effect the future and have a lasting impact students and workers need to know how to be a vital member of their community, AND how to have that community support them back. This literacy also covers empathy, collaboration and networking skills, being comfortable with giving and receiving feedback, taking on leadership and even keeping a place for civility among much more. The best solutions are useless if no one knows about them.
EntreComp: The Entrepreneurship Competence Framework - Abstract: The development of the entrepreneurial capacity of European citizens and organisations is one of the key policy objectives for the EU and Member States. Ten years ago, the European Commission identified sense of initiative and entrepreneurship as one of the 8 key competences necessary for a knowledge-based society. The EntreComp framework presented in this report proposes a shared definition of entrepreneurship as a competence, with the aim to raise consensus among all stakeholders and to establish a bridge between the worlds of education and work. Developed through a mixed-methods approach, the EntreComp framework is set to become a reference de facto for any initiative aiming to foster entrepreneurial capacity of European citizens. It consists of 3 interrelated and interconnected competence areas: ‘Ideas and opportunities’, ‘Resources’ and ‘Into action’.

Learning to swim in the Digital Ocean: new DigComp report develops proficiency levels in detail Education and employment authorities, organisations, companies and citizens from EU Member States count today with specific tools to improve and streamline Digital and Entrepreneurial skills. DigComp describes what digital competence is and groups the competences in five areas. Its latest version, DigComp 2.1, describes those competences across eight proficiency levels, from foundation/beginner to highly specialised, and offers examples of use applied to employment and education in the form of infographics and visual guides. It was presented today at an event in Brussels where organisations from across Europe explained their own initiatives based on these competence frameworks. At today's event, we learnt from initiatives such as transforming prison education to improve the employability opportunities of inmates brought by SFEDI Group. Background More information from all our studies can be found on the JRC Science Hub research topic on Learning and Skills.
