The European
Union stresses the need of promoting key competences for lifelong learning on
its Europe 2020 Strategy and on the Recommendations of the European Parliament
and the European Council of 2006 (2006/962/EC). However, as the Euridyce´s 2012
report “Developing Key Competences at School in Europe” reveals, there is a
lack of more strategic approach in supporting the key competences integration
at school. In this
context, KEYCOLAB is a project which, based on the exchange of experiences of
different models developing key competences at primary school (strategies,
materials, tools, training programmes…), will enable entities working on the
field to exchange, improve and test models and resources with the objective of
improving the applied ones and provide the knowledge to develop new ones. This
project is a space for exchange, for cooperation and testing, based on the
applied good and innovative practices in different EU regions and countries.
Moreover, the
project aims at raising awareness on the importance of integrating key
competences at school curricula and involving the different stakeholder groups
in its practical implementation.
For doing so,
KEYCOLAB will produce these outputs:
- KEYCOLAB Case Study Report: It will compile the
strategies, methodologies, materials, tools, training contents, improvement
recommendations… applied internally by partners. It will be developed after
individual cases analysis, a face-to-face exchange workshop and Individual
Action Plans based on the lessons learnt.
- KEYCOLAB Training Program: Joint Training Program on key competences at primary school. The Program will be adapted to the
partners´ regions and countries´specificity.
- KEYCOLAB Laboratory: Set of activities and resources
for the testing of projects developing key competences at primary school
(materials, methodologies, tools, evaluation systems…), as well as the training
program. It includes the development of the KEYCOLAB Platform online
platform which will contain all project outputs. Access will be open to all
stakeholders free of charges. It will be a cooperation and exchange tool which
will give the possibility to upload and share materials, methodologies, tools,
training programs… through the working groups that will be created, to be
updated on key competences field though the news section…
