On October 10-12, a well-attended conference was held with participants from all over the EU, including Sveriges Tvätteriförbund, as part of Erasmus Days.
The conference consisted of morning and afternoon sessions and a workshop in the afternoon.
Among the speakers were Clare Stark who is the UN Coordinator for UNESCO for Emerging Technologies, Gert Biesta who is a professor at Maynooth University and the University of Edinburgh, and Bolarmaa Tumurchudur-Klok who works as a Skills specialist at the ILO.
They highlighted themes such as competence, democracy and participation under the points:
EMPOWER. Workforce with the right skills.
ENGAGE. Skills for democratic life
INCLUDE. Inclusive skills opportunities
Other themes touched on were how to increase green and digital skills for adults, democratic education for a democratic society and how to empower vulnerable groups through non-formal education.
Many thanks to the EPALE group for well-organized and intensive days.
