Notes for a challenge-based approach (2023) ==================================================================== - Challenged-based approach - Communication and Dissemination - Innovative Pedagogies - Micro-credentials - Report - Academics - Researchers In this report, we want to explore to what extent it would be possible to propose a modular educational offer that would reconcile civic engagement with the acquisition of competencies that allow learners to adapt to a (personal, social, occupational) changing context. In order to do so, it is necessary to take into account both the pedagogical particularities of the micro-credentials and the very vision and structure of CIVIS. The challenge-based approach is often referred to as a **possible solution to bridge the gap between the Alliance’s civic vocation and a pragmatic side of education aiming at a visible impact on civil society.** It could certainly be a useful tool in the context of lifelong learning. However, it is necessary to unravel the ambiguity of the term, as its lack of clarity often hinders the implementation of concrete activities in CIVIS. For this reason, t**he report includes a section focusing on three possible interpretations of the “challenge-based approach”,** in order to explore different ways of jointly building micro-credentials considering CIVIS reality. This is an issue that will require the participation of many voices. The **aim of this report is simply to offer some food for thought that will hopefully facilitate collective reflection on the development of micro-credentials with the CIVIS label.** This report was prepared by Enrique Santamaría, Innovative Pedagogies Officer at CIVIS. - [ report-civis-micro-credentials-challenge-based-2023.pdf (PDF, 399 KB) ](https://civis.eu/storage/files/report-civis-micro-credentials-challenge-based-2023.pdf) Other resources --------------- - ### Member Universities in Europe Logos 1 ottobre 2026 Logos of the 11 member universities in Europe. - Communication and Dissemination - Branding material - Academics - Administrators - Researchers - Students [ See more ](https://civis.eu/it/resources/member-universities-in-europe-logos "Member Universities in Europe Logos") - ### Fostering instead of Feeding: Realignment of Euro-African Cooperation 30 settembre 2026 A systemic framework for SME empowerment and demographic resilience in Euro-African relations Policy brief no. 16 | September 2026 By Manuel Jesgarz - Polycrisis - Policy recommendations - Researchers [ See more ](https://civis.eu/it/resources/fostering-instead-of-feeding-realignment-of-euro-african-cooperation "Fostering instead of Feeding: Realignment of Euro-African Cooperation") ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
