This call for Proposals will support the implementation of the 2006 Recommendation on key competences for lifelong learning. It will do so by addressing in particular the issues raised by the 2009 Communication "Key Competences for a Changing World" that takes stock of the state of play of the implementation of the Recommendation, and suggests areas for further work.
Only proposals will be Tconsidered with a network of a minimum of 20 organisations from 20 different eligible countries.
The Recommendation sets out eight key competences:
-
•
These eight key competences are underpinned by critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, initiative, risk assessment, decision-taking and management of one's own feelings. For the development of school education it is important to note that the key competences include not only the 'traditional' key competences such as mother tongue and foreign languages that are usually taught through subjects, but also the transversal competences such as learning to learn, social and civic, entrepreneurship and cultural competences. These transversal or 'cross-curricular' competences often go beyond subject boundaries and require new approaches to teaching and learning, and a new range of teaching competences.
The need to develop new, holistic approaches to teaching and learning is emphasised in the 2008 Communication of the Commission
