Transversal Education: Participation, Life, Career Path
Practice-oriented introduction for non-formal educators (2024)
This guide helps educators to address cross-cutting competences that are important in different educational and professional contexts and in different areas of learning. In particular, the guide aims to emphasise the potential of skills acquired in active citizenship, democracy and rights education and civic engagement for professional development. Chapter 1 explains the idea and general approach of competence-centred education. Chapter 2 considers the particularities of non-formal learning processes and learning understood as a process. Chapter 3 provides an introduction to reflecting on and dealing with social diversity - an aspect that is becoming a cross-cutting issue in pluralistic societies. At the end, we briefly present some pedagogical approaches that play an important role in this transversal competence-orientated education and empowerment.

Competence Explorer
Competence Explorer
The explorer compares the relevant European competence frameworks that address transversal competences. It gives educators a rough insight into the different frameworks. One can use it to check which competences would be particularly relevant for one's own work, or to check which competences one would like to work on further oneself or with the learners. Furthermore, the explorer informs you how the individual frameworks look at certain transversal competences (competences that are important in many activities and contexts).
