The goal of the project is to develop and validate an innovative approach to the development and certification of 21st century skills, a key component of which is the "21st Century Skills Pills." (short, intensive teaching modules to develop key skills). As part of the project, we plan to create a system of flexible methods for developing 21st century skills and link it to a system of microcredentials that will confirm the successive acquisition of these skills by students in a "small steps".

As part of the project, in the first stage, learning outcomes will be prepared, and a taxonomy of these outcomes will be developed, which will provide a solid foundation for the creation of an effective and reliable microcredentials system. In the next stage, coherent pathways for the development of 21st century competencies during studies (in the form of Skills Pills pathways) will be developed and tested using the EUROPASS platform.

Key outcomes: Learning outcomes taxonomy – Classification including knowledge, skill, and social outcomes, focusing on 21st-century skills and market requirements. Skills Pills library – A collection of skills modules with learning outcomes evaluation criteria aligned with micro-credential requirements. Playbook for CREDIPILLS – A reference model containing designed pathways and criteria for awarding micro-credentials.
