For this year’s conference “Upskilling and Reskilling for the ‘Twin Transition’: Digital and Green Transformation” organised by the European Basic Skills Network EBSN, more than 50 participants travelled to Valladolid\/Spain. The event was hosted by the Faculty of Education and Social Work at the University of Valladolid, one of the oldest universities in Spain with 800 years of tradition. Swiss organisations were strongly represented with seven participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Space for Basic Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The conference kicked off for the first time on 25 June with a networking event in the form of an open space. As moderator of the event, I am delighted that the format worked so well and led to intensive professional discussions: “Bumble Bees” introduced topics such as microcedentials, open educational resources, artificial intelligence and workplace learning, professionalisation in the field of tension between first and second languages, informal learning in the context of self-organised writing groups. Participants will be organised in different groups and follow up on these issues. An EBSN caf\u00e9 in September will provide an opportunity to inform about the activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
