Open Badges
In ToVET project, we have created 16 badges to complement all eight key competences for lifelong learning that the Council for European Union has recommended in the 2018 framework.
The badges are divided into different categories depending on their content and nature. Some are regarded as so-called prerequisite badges and are meant to be achieved before applying for the other badges.
Following the suggested order of badges when applying for them helps you to gain skills in progressive order so that the gained skills and competence help you in obtaining the badges.
The so-called partial badges are parts of several sets of competence and help you obtain more than one Meta badge.
The so-called Meta badges are collective badges combined of two or more content badges. These Meta badges are automatically distributed to an individual who has successfully gained all content badges belonging to it.
