The blended learning institutions’ cooperative (blinc) is a German cooperative working in: • Innovative fields of learning and validation, • innovative learning and traning formats for contents like circular economy, design thinking, entrepreneurship education, CSR and the Sustainable Development Goals • Holistic technology supported blended learning systems There is a constant need of continuing professional development for our staff members since new contents, approaches and technologies are quickly developing in our domains. Hence we set up and constantly updated a European Development Plan which outlines the pathway for future developments and learning fields in which the competence development of our staff members plays the central role: Despite the pandemic blinc could increase its workforce. Therefore, there has been a constant need of continuing professional development for our staff members since new contents, approaches and technologies have been quickly developing in our fields of work and especially new colleages (new staff, interns and volunteers) needed CPD courses and teaching and training opportunities in a European context.
