Workshop in Rantasalmi: Region of Learning
REGION OF LEARNING WORKSHOP IN RANTASALMI 7.5.2019
City or Region of Learning is a new approach of connecting learning opportunities across territories and making them more visible and accessible to young people. Cities and Regions of Learning use web infrastructure to map learning opportunities, offer local and digital experiences, use digital Open Badges to value and recognise learning and achievements. It also offers many possibilities for supporting youth employment.
What we will learn

- What is a City or Region of Learning?
- What are the benefits of a City or Region of Learning?
- What are the learning playlists and digital Open Badges?
- How can we utilize City or Region of Learning in supporting youth employment and entrepreneurship in South Savo?
