2nd meeting on Erasmus+ project "Future Skills" took place online
On June 21, 2024, the second project meeting of the Erasmus+ project "Future Skills - Skills Change in the Bildungshaus of the Future" took place online. Although the project team would have liked to meet in person, it was decided to hold one of the three official meetings in the digital space. This decision was made in order to save time resources and the project budget, which were to be invested in the development of the results.
The meeting focused primarily on the next steps for the "Expert focus group" and "Theoretical research" activities.
Expert focus group takes place in September 2024
Together with external experts from Austria and Germany, we will get to the bottom of the phenomenon of "future skills".
What do Bildungshäuser understand by "Future Skills" - and how do we attract employees with such skills? What are innovative approaches, ideas and solutions to current problems in these areas? What can recruiting, personnel development, organizational development and leadership culture look like in the Bildungshaus of the future?
All directors and HR managers from the members of ARGE BHÖ and the German Association of Folk High Schools in the rural area are invited to this 3-hour online exchange. We are already looking forward to the results and to reporting on them soon.
Results will be published
The results of the project will be published in winter 2024/2025. It is intended to serve as a guide for innovative and creative solutions in the organisational and personnel development of educational institutions.
What is it all about? A brief explanation of the project
The current HR situation is perceived as being characterised by a shortage of jobs and skilled workers, upheavals in the world of work (keyword "New Work") and in social values, digitalisation and artificial intelligence, etc. The main aim of the project is therefore to analyse future requirements and challenges for personnel development, leadership and organisational culture in the Bildungshaus of the future. It is also about developing possible solutions for dealing with them. The main focus here is on the skills required in the future ("future skills").
The project team immerses itself in the topic with the help of research work, focus groups, workshops and excursions. On the one hand, the aim is to gain a better understanding of the needs of Bildungshäuser and employees. On the other hand, by looking outside the box of adult education, inspiration and ideas are to be found to help make or maintain the educational centre as a meaningful and modern workplace.
Project partners from Germany and Austria on board
As lead partner and initiator, ARGE Bildungshäuser Österreich (ARGE BHÖ) is primarily responsible for the project. Partners were quickly found thanks to the ARGE BHÖ's active networking approach: The Verband der Bildungszentren im ländlichen Raum (Germany) and the SPES Zukunftsakademie (Austria) are also on board.
