21st Century Skills for 21st Century Needs is an Erasmus+ project focused on equipping young people with the skills they need to navigate through future challenges.
About
Young people today face a society in constant change. Competent workers and citizens in the future are individuals who can learn and adapt to new knowledge - alone or in collaboration.
Consequently, the objectives of education are no longer just what you learn, but how you learn, and also what you can one do with the knowledge you have. It becomes important to “learn how to learn” and to create new solutions to new problems.
This is the discussion on the 21st century skills - on which skills are needed to navigate through future challenges. For the students to be skilled for the 21st century there is a need for the education to have more of an entrepreneurial approach and methodology. This will make the students competent for future job opportunities in a constantly changing labour market.
We regarded this project as a unique opportunity to work further with these topics and approaches in collaboration with teachers in different countries in gaining new knowledge in teaching 21st century skills in the education of future teachers.
