Project description:

• decrease their “mortality rate”
• improve the overall income of the category
• reduce “undeclared work” in favour of more stable and well-paid jobs
• promote a work style that provides a better work-life balance – reduce the dissatisfaction rate of workers, who would be engaged in a job that they are passionate about and allows them to use their talents.

Target group

• VET trainers
• Existing freelancers
• Wannabe freelancers
• People who want to combine an autonomous activity with their work as an employee as a preparation for the ultimate change of direction
• Professionals and consultants who offer services to other freelancers but whom freelancers believe they cannot turn to for economic reasons (e.g. notaries, lawyers, trademark experts, consultants, etc.).

Project results

The main results of the project will be the creation of:

Overview of the freelance world in Europe and survey on opportunities/disadvantages of the freelance economy

This work package aims to take a timely and accurate snapshot of the world of freelancing in Europe. It aims to highlight both the main characteristics of freelancers in the consortium countries and the expectations and needs of workers in terms of opportunities and training requirements.

Defining a methodology for the entrepreneurial training of freelancers

This work package will develop a manual for the creation of a freelance incubator model.

The manual will provide an accurate picture of the training methodologies to be adopted in order to build a robust and sustainable freelance economy.

Implementation of a digital incubator for freelancers

The result will be the creation of a technology app to support this system and testing content that is genuinely useful in creating an ecosystem to support the freelance economy. The app will be complemented in the future with input from freelancers and their stakeholders.

Project description:

The SOURCE project focuses on improving the digital competence of educators to design and deliver engaging online learning experiences. There is strong evidence that distance learning is the dominant process and will remain so. According, Times Higher Education’, on the outlook for higher education from the perspective of leaders of the world’s major universities in 2018, it is predicted that by 2030, the majority of prestigious universities will offer their full courses online. Until recently, most online courses have been dictated by technology. However, it is important to understand that online teaching is not a purely technological issue and, to be effective, it is more than just delivering a course face to face through another medium.

Target group

• Experts in adult learning – adult trainers, instructors, facilitators, educators, mentors coaches providing online learning services and remote teaching, curriculum designers experts, educational technologists;
• lifelong learners, trainees or upskilling/reskilling;
• training managers that focus on managerial aspects, including curriculum assessment, learning systems, quality assurance and administration;
• eLearning industry;
• policymakers, educational leaders;
• the general public, individual professionals.

Project results

The main results of the project will be the creation of:

Online Instructors – best practices, skills and competences :

Identification and analysis of current best practices in educational technologies and remote teaching. This is collaborative desk research on a national, European and international level.

Design and development of training material:

The development of the SOURCE curriculum clearly stating aims and outcomes, programme outlines, learning objectives and intended learning outcomes, methods of delivering, identification of appropriate learning components to promote efficient learning, etc.

Pilot the SOURCE MOOC:

An online dedicated space (Training Platform) to host the SOURCE training material. It will draw on the concepts of

microlearning in terms of functionalities, self-paced learning, the granularity of topics and ideas, diversified strategies and learning sequences and modes of learning. The SOURCE team will use existing infrastructure and deploy open source technologies to minimize costs.
