Fostering LifeComp Competencies through Education (re-run)
Detalii curs
Franklin Roosevelt once said, “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future”.
As educators, our role has never been more critical. In an era of rapid technological change and global challenges, we must equip our students with more than just knowledge, we must give them the tools to thrive, adapt, and lead.
In this 3-module short online course, you will explore the LifeComp framework, the European roadmap for Personal, Social, and Learning to Learn competences. This journey is designed for active reflection and immediate classroom application, bridging the gap between theory and practice.
This is not just a course; it’s a laboratory for your ideas. From the very first module, you will start building your Peer Learning Journal. You will document your classroom experiments, reflect on your growth, and eventually share your insights with a vibrant community of fellow educators.
The course is offered by the European School Education Platform. Visit our website for more information.

This self-paced course is already available online. It is adapted from a version that ran from Monday, 9 February to Wednesday, 25 February 2026. Designed for flexibility, it lets you explore content and complete activities at your own pace, no deadlines, live sessions, or required meetings. While the original course included scheduled discussions and peer reviews, this version allows independent learning with the same materials and guidance. Forum discussions and Padlet contributions will not be moderated, fostering a fully self-directed experience. To support reflection, you'll be encouraged to assess your own work using the provided criteria.
To make the course accessible to a wider audience, we’ve developed this self-paced format. This version allows you to explore the content and complete the activities at your own pace, whenever it suits you best.
What the self-study format means:
- Flexible schedule: You decide when and how to engage with the course materials. There are no deadlines, live sessions, or required meeting times.
- Independent learning: While the original course included discussions and peer reviews taking place in certain days and weeks, this format empowers you to work independently, using the same materials and guidance provided during the initial version. Please note that discussions in the forums and contributions on Padlets will not be moderated, allowing for a fully self-directed learning experience.
- Self-assessment: To replicate some of the reflective benefits of peer feedback, you will be encouraged to evaluate your own work using the provided assessment criteria.
