VISION is a future-oriented and result-driven project that aims to advance Europe’s capacity and effectiveness in teaching and training for creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship (CIE). These three areas are recognized as essential for the development and readiness of societies to address global challenges and uncertain labour markets, yet knowledge about their teaching and training is highly fragmented and ever-changing. VISION actively engages 120 global stakeholders and experts across higher education, business, policy and society at large to:I. Co-create forward-looking knowledge on the role of education for creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship with a focus on four challenges and opportunities, such as digital transformation and skills alignment with the future of work. II. Develop a series of user-friendly and practical materials to support educators (teachers, trainers, professors, tutors, mentors, coaches) to be future ready now, embracing the dynamic and constantly evolving content and tools shaping their work. III. Ensure that knowledge remains relevant and up-to date, contributing to the preparation and implementation of EU programs and policies beyond 2020.To obtain these goals in the course of 24 months, VISION features a solid and dedicated partnership across Europe with complementary expertise and an established track record. Furthermore it draws on an extended global network of actors and key influencers to ensure that knowledge is co-created and results are built and integrated into other relevant initiatives.The key outputs of the project are:(i) a compilation of visions on the future of teaching and training for CIE; (ii) a variety of resources for educators such as podcasts, webinars, and platforms that deliver forward-looking knowledge as a usable guide; and (iii) an action plan for near-future initiatives that can inform policy makers, but also for use by the consortium for the continuation of its work after the project.
Based on an analysis of the field, VISION is designed to respond to the following three needs:I The need for forward-looking knowledge on teaching and training for CIE.II The need for resources and materials supporting educators (teachers, trainers, professors, tutors, mentors, coaches) to be future-ready now.III The need for concrete ideas and recommendations for the design of policy, programs and initiatives beyond 2020 to ensure that knowledge and practices for teaching and training CIE.
VISION was designed to map the future landscape of learning for CEI based on the impressions collected from 130 stakeholders interviewed across the globe. These stakeholders included policy makers, representatives of Higher Education Institutions(HEIs), educators, tech start-up founders, regulatory bodies, think tanks and students. The aim was to build on the collective intelligence when it comes to the future of learning, as well as identify the challenges and opportunity.
