Conference abstract

The conference will focus on the collaboration and development of assets based Open Educational Practices across Europe. The founding principle of the project was to support the implementation of the 2013 Communication on Opening Up Education by helping learning institutions, teachers and learners to acquire digital skills and learning methods and to support the development and availability of Open Educational Resources (OERs) that are built on the strengths-based model. The aims of the project were to develop innovative inter-professional educational resources that can be used in the further training of public sector practitioners, including youth workers and volunteers, as a means of equipping them with the skills needed to foster inter-agency and inter-generational connectivity; mobilise existing community assets and engage in pioneering forms of collaboration which embrace the assets based approach.
