Erasmus + Open Badge Network (OBN)   (www.openbadgenetwork.com)

CamProf is a partner in this EU funded project to raise awareness and participation in micro credentials and certification of informal education in the form of Open Badges. Mozilla Open Badges is an open standard that allows all skills and achievements to be recognised and shared across the web. Schools, universities, employers and informal learning providers globally are using open badges to capture lifelong learning which is currently unrecognised.  OBN aims to:

• Create the conditions for Europe-wide and worldwide recognition of learning achievements
• Open and facilitate systematic access to the recognition of non-formal and informal learning
• Place formal and informal recognition of learning on a par
• Create new employment and learning opportunities for all
• Bring a European contribution to the leadership of the world-wide Open Badge movement.
