The first result of the Erasmus+ project Competence+<\/strong>, led by the German ENNE network partner LAB, is a conceptual framework. It sets the foundation for the elaboration of learning modules and VR environments<\/strong> to foster competencies beyond pure professional skills in public transport<\/strong>. To this end, the partners first agreed on definitions of the key concepts and then agreed on learning outcomes for the four modules that are target-oriented for the topics of environmental awareness, conflict awareness, stress management and moral courage. From these, the concrete workshop and e-learning content<\/strong> will be developed in the further course of the project. The framework will be made available to interested parties in English via the project website.<\/p>

The background<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

European cities rely on public transport and the people who keep these systems running every day. This sector will continue to grow as urban populations increase and sustainability requirements rise.<\/p>

With this growth comes ever new challenges for public transit workers<\/strong>, and that’s where “COMPETENCE+: A Blended Learning Program for Competence Development Beyond Pure Professional Skills” comes into play!<\/p>

The goal of the project is to create a continuing education platform<\/strong> that both trainees and employees in public transport can use to further their education in the areas of environmental<\/strong> awareness<\/strong>, conflict<\/strong> awareness<\/strong>, stress management<\/strong> and moral courage<\/strong>. To this end, a course concept is being created that includes both eLearning and classroom training. The special feature of Competence+ is<\/strong> that virtual reality scenarios<\/strong> are being created that enable learners to directly apply and test the knowledge and skills<\/strong> they have acquired. The project also includes an application manual for teachers who want to use or adapt Competence+ themselves<\/p>

Interdisciplinary cooperation in the consortium<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Together with the transport operators Reus Mobilitat<\/strong> (Spain) and Straeto (Iceland), the coordinators Leipziger Aus- und Weiterbildungsbetriebe<\/strong> (Germany) bring the direct perspective of public transport to the project<\/strong>, while Wisamar<\/strong> (Germany), DomSpain<\/strong> (Spain) and StandoutEducation<\/strong> (Cyprus) contribute their expertise in vocational training projects.<\/strong> The interdisciplinary collaboration is rounded off by Virsabi<\/strong> (Denmark), who bring all their experience as virtual and augmented reality experts to the project.<\/p>
