Learning to Learn Through Micro-Credentials in a Regional Setting
A project that focuses primarily on vulnerable groups and aims to enhance their self-efficacy and increase their chances of finding employment in their local area/region through the use of micro-credentials.
Join us for the L2L MicroCred Final International Seminar
What have we learned about designing micro-credentials that are inclusive, relevant and accessible to adult learners? Join us in Rome or online on 9 September 2026 as the L2L MicroCred project shares key findings, practical experiences and tools from our work across four countries.
After two years of collaboration, the Erasmus+ project Learning to Learn through Micro-Credentials in a Regional Setting (L2L MicroCred) is approaching its conclusion. The Final International Seminar at LUMSA University in Rome will bring together the project partners from Norway, Ireland, Italy and Australia to share results and explore how micro-credentials can support lifelong learning, employability and social inclusion.
The seminar will take participants through the L2L journey – from understanding learner and regional needs to designing, piloting and evaluating micro-credentials in different settings. We will share experiences from the pilots, key lessons for developing inclusive micro-credentials, and introduce the L2L Pedagogical Toolbox, with practical tools and resources for educators and course developers. The programme also includes a round-table discussion on how the project’s approaches can be adapted and taken forward in new regional contexts.
The seminar is open to anyone interested in micro-credentials, lifelong and flexible learning, adult learning and learning design. Join us in Rome or online – for the full three-hour seminar or selected parts of the programme.
Successful Project Workshop and Meeting in Lillehammer
All project partners gathered in Lillehammer from 11–13 June for a highly successful three-day workshop and transnational project meeting. Hosted by INN University, the event offered a rich and productive programme spread across three days, blending collaborative design sessions with valuable peer exchange and cultural experiences.
Successful Project Workshop and Meeting in Lillehammer
The workshop focused on developing a shared understanding of micro-credentials, learner profiles and curriculum design, with partners contributing actively through presentations, group work and discussions. Each day had a clear theme – from laying the foundation to building and refining design concepts – culminating in a project meeting to align on next steps.
L2L WP2 Competence Needs Summary Report
As part of the Erasmus+ project Learning to Learn through Micro-credentials in a Regional Setting (L2L MicroCred), this new report explores how micro-credentials can help break down barriers to learning for marginalised adults in regional areas. Led by University of Inland Norway, the report draws on regional analyses conducted by the partners LUMSA University (Rome/Italy), University of Limerick (Ireland), and Central Queensland University (Australia), alongside INN’s own findings.
Based on literature reviews, stakeholder consultations, and focus groups with adult learners, the report identifies key competency needs, challenges, and opportunities for developing targeted micro-credentials. It forms part of Work Package 2 on Regional Needs, Partnerships, and User Mapping, and includes both a cross-country summary and the full reports from each partner.
L2L Project Members Contribute to International Webinar on Micro-Credentials
Micro-credentials are gaining increasing attention globally as a solution to address current and future skills needs. Through short and flexible learning formats, micro-credentials can provide targeted skills and competencies that promote lifelong learning, employment, and inclusion.
New EU project on micro-credentials
INN University's 'Centre for lifelong learning' (SELL) will lead a two-year Erasmus+ project aimed at enhancing the employability and motivation of vulnerable groups through the use of micro-credentials.
“L2L Micro-credentials are building blocks of opportunity, offering flexible and accessible ways for everyone to grow skills and confidence.”
