About the Project | Flexi-Comp

Missions & Objectives

The FLEXI-COMP project developed a flexible digital competence framework for educators working in the VET sector built on existing EU competence frameworks in particular ‘DigCompEdu’.

Through this project, we incorporated a set of competences that enables educators to use digital tools to work with vulnerable groups, so as to in turn improve their digital competences and knowledge. In addition, the project embeded the framework in ‘situational knowledge-based practice’ so as to support educators to understand how to apply digital competences in real teaching and learning situations. The partners developed though Flexi-comp an online learning programme using micro-learning and game-based learning, to enable educators to acquire these competences and apply them in practice. A pilot of the program was provided to 200 learners from four different VET contexts – school-based vocational training, college and further education training, vocational training for vulnerable young people and continuing vocational training for adult learners. From that, the project developed a Toolkit for scaling the programme up and out.

The Flexi-comp partners are disseminating the project results to a wide stakeholder constituency including policy-makers, educators, youth organisations and the research community.
