Europass in Belgium - Flanders: 2021-2023(4)

ended

Our objectives are to: 1) support system-level implementation of Europass through strategic cooperation with national authorities and EU tools; 2) promote Europass and 3) support individuals and organizations to use Europass. 1) We will focus on the structural and system-level implementation of Europass in collaboration with relevant partners to achieve sustainable impact on Flemish citizens. First, we will re-examine the interoperability between ‘mijn loopbaan’ (the main online tool for PES jobseekers) and the new Europass services. Second, we will strengthen the embedment of Europass Mobility as a solid brand in VET, linked to Erasmus+. Third, we prepare the structural integration of Diploma and Certificate Supplements and Digitals Credentials into the national qualification databases and registers. 2) For promotion, we make use of online and offline communication and dissemination channels and those of our partners. We strengthen our online presence through our national Europass website, an innovative social media strategy and campaign, YouTube channel, newsletters, and continue to be present on fairs, give workshops (e.g. Euroguidance events), organize a launch event on Digital Credential (target group: educational institutions), on the ‘Tool for Teachers’, send promotional packages (>1.5K/year) to holders of Europass Mobility documents and will disseminate the results of a study on achieved competences during mobility. This will reach at least 6.8K users/year. 3) Promotional activities will go hand in hand with strong support to end-users. We will invest in at least 2 tutorials and 3 explanatory videos to promote and support the use of Europass Mobility, e-profile and Digital Credentials (target groups: students, jobseekers, educational institutions), organize at least 2 to 3 Europass Mobility trainings/year (for educational organizations), provide a help desk and develop supportive materials for teachers and guidance practitioners.
