Organisation: European Union

To determine how education and training policy can adequately prepare learners for life in the future society, there is a need to envisage which competences will be relevant and how these will be acquired in 2020-2030. To contribute to this vision-building, JRC-IPTS on behalf of DG Education and Culture launched a foresight study on “The Future of Learning: New Ways to learn New Skills for Future Jobs” (http://is.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pages /EAP/ForCiel.html). This study aims to identify, understand and map how learning strategies and trajectories are expected to change, given current trends, thus creating a descriptive vision of the future, and to develop a normative vision outlining how future learning opportunities should be developed to contribute to social cohesion, socio-economic inclusion and economic growth. These two objectives were implemented by a series of extensive stakeholder consultations, employing different formats (workshops; online consultations; group concept mapping) and including different stakeholder groups (experts and practitioners; teachers; policy makers) as well as a review of studies and foresight activities.
