In these turbulent, transitionary times, lifelong learning is known to be one of the transition priorities of the Flemish Future Vision 2050. Together with UAB, EhB and VUB, I’ve been part of a wonderful team cooking up a new microcredential combining ‘futures studies’ with ‘political sciences’.
While still ironing out the last administrative and content-related elements, the microcredential ‘democracy: challenges and futures’ will be part of VUB and EhB’s educational offerings for lifelong learning from next academic year onwards.
Meanwhile both research units are investigating how to work more closely together in the near future. Stay tuned.
