From October 3rd till October 4th, CGE team members Ammalia Podlaszewska and Zafar Saydaliev have visited a partner organisation @Еuni Partners Association, which hosted the second transnational meeting of the project “Promoting Quality Digital Youth Work through the Creation and Mapping of Connected Learning Pathways in Europe: an innovative way to reach marginalized young people”.

#InCaseYouMissed: Connected Learning aims to create an on-line tool in the form of an interactive and dynamic portal backed up by a mobile app which will map out learning opportunities provided in formal, non-formal and informal learning for young people.

On the second meeting several topics were discussed, among which are the ways to secure and validate training opportunities (open badges for validation of the learning?), digital training packages accompanying the training methodology, some IOs such as “Toolkit on creating Digital Learning Routes and synergies” (at national and European level).

On May 15th-16th, 2019 CGE Erfurt e.V. representative, Grisha Grigori Grigoriev, took part in the Kick-Off Meeting of the project “Promoting Quality Digital Youth Work through the Creation-Mapping of Connected Learning Routes in Europe: An innovative Way to Reach out to Marginalized Young People” – or shortly “Connected Learning”. The meeting was hosted by the applicant organisation University of Ulster, Belfast, UK.

“Connected Learning” 🗺 innovates to create an on-line tool in the form of an interactive and dynamic portal backed up by a mobile app which will map out learning opportunities provided in Formal, Non-Formal and Informal Learning for Young People. The #learningroutes of a city or region will be presented in an interactive map for easy access by Young People while providing the opportunity to people with fewer opportunities or marginalized to identify learning opportunities anywhere they are in an easy and intuitive way.
