- 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.

- ### IMAGINING HOMELAND: PALMYRA'S (IN)TANGIBLE HERITAGE AND THE VOICES OF DISPLACEMENT

     1 juli 2026

    This volume is a monograph documenting the virtual reconstruction projects of the Temple of Baalshamin, one of the most significant forms of tangible heritage belonging to the Syrian community, destroyed as a result of terrorist attacks. Through a series of workshops with Syrian communities—including refugees, displaced persons, and individuals who have experienced either forced or voluntary migration—the virtual reconstruction is presented as a process that supports social inclusion and the reconstruction of cultural identity.
