efforts to incorporate the key compe-
tences into National Curricula, but to do a
complete process it is necessary to de-
velop an assessment.

Summary key competences
Key competence 5: Learning to learnIn order to keep up with the progress in a
nowadays knowledge based society, where
the technological development influences
needs and requirements of individuals, to
learn efficiently in less time and to keep more
information, knowing your type of learning is
absolutely a must.
As defined in the Recommendation of the
European Parliament and of the Council of
18 December 2006 on Key Competences for
Lifelong Learning:
“Learning to learn’ is the ability to pursue and persist in learning, to organise one’s own learning, including through effec-
tive management of time and information, both individually and in groups. This competence includes awareness of one’s
learning process and needs, identifying available opportunities, and the ability to overcome obstacles in order to learn
successfully. This competence means gaining, processing and assimilating new knowledge and skills as well as seeking and
making use of guidance. Learning to learn engages learners to build on prior learning and life experiences in order to use
and apply knowledge and skills in a variety of contexts: at home, at work, in education and training. Motivation and confi-
dence are crucial to an individual’s competence.”The Center for Resarch on Education and Lifelong Learn-
ing, CRELL, created in 2008 a framework based on for-
mer researcher and defined three dimensions of learn-
ing: the cognitive, the affective, and the metacognitive.
In literature, there are different models of learning styles.
We used the following types:
- Auditory Learner: learning by listening
- Visual Learner: learning by watching
and reading
- Communicative Learner: learning by
discussing the content
- Motor Learner: learning by trying
things out on your own

Civic competence is linked to the concepts of democracy, jus-
tice, equality or civil rights. The individual becomes a “citizen”
who participates in decision-making at local, national, regional
and European level. The citizen becomes aware of how decisive
is their participation or vote for the development of policies and
projects in the community.
YOTE projet newsletter No4 | April 2015 8
Key competence 6: Social and civic competences
SocialSocial competence is related to the social welfare and the development of healthy life-styles for oneself, one’s family and for the social environment.
The social competence promotes the understanding of “the codes of conduct and manners gener-ally accepted in different societies and environments “, at work for instance, there are healthy condi-tions at workplaces, a respect for the work schedule, a communi-cation with the workmates to de-velop the tasks individually or as a work team. We act respecting cer-tain principles like the principle of gender equality and non-discrimi-nation that are fundamental in the society. The core skills include the ability to communicate construc-tively in different environments, to show tolerance, express and un-
derstand different point of views, to negotiation skills, the ability to create confidence, and to feel em-pathy for other cultures. It makes more free individuals, and invites to participate as an active mem-ber in the activities taking place in the community. Social compe-tence encourages participation in social organizations working for the welfare of different collectives. The competence promotes an ac-tive participation and compromise of the individual, who should be interested in the socio-economic development and socio- cultural dialogue in the society.
The core skills of the competence
involve the ability to engage ef-
fectively with others in the public
domain, and to display solidarity
and interest in solving problems af-
fecting the local and wider com-
munity. For example, you can take
part through the vote during the
election, being part of an organiza-
tion that works to protect the rights
of different collectives, or respect-
ing the values and principles recog-
nized in national constitutions and
European and International Treaties.
At work, for instance, we are gov-
erned by a professional ethic and
sense of responsibility that we make
our work in accordance with current
standards and values that guide
society. At the same time, the civic
competence involves a behavior of
respect and understanding for oth-
er cultures, and a sense of solidarity
and social cohesion.
During the training course, students in all fields will greatly ben-
efit from learning about - and gaining experience of entrepre-
neurship. In fact, personal skills and qualities that are relevant to
entrepreneurship such as spirit of initiative and creativity can be
useful to everyone in their working responsibilities and in their
day-to-day existence.
YOTE projet newsletter No4 | April 2015 9
Key competence 7: Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship
The concept of the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship assumed to serve as the engine of the developments need-ed. At the same time, the European Parliament and the European Council carries a recommendation that the Member States integrate the key competences in their future school reforms. The principal goal of entrepreneurship education is “to give students the attitudes, knowledge and skills to act in an entrepreneurial way.”
The European Framework for Life-
long Learning, defines the key com-
petence Sense of initiative and en-
trepreneurship “as an individual’s
ability to turn ideas into action. It
includes creativity, innovation and
risk-taking, as well as the ability to
plan and manage projects in order
to achieve objectives. This supports
individuals, not only in their every-
day lives at home and in society, but
also in the workplace in being aware
of the context of their work and be-
ing able to seize opportunities, and is
a foundation for more specific skills
and knowledge needed by those es-
tablishing or contributing to social
or commercial activity. This should
include awareness of ethical values
and promote good governance.”
Like other key competences, the
sense of initiative and entrepreneur-
ship consists of three interrelated
ingredients: knowledge, skills & at-
titudes. These three types of com-
ponents are deeply interlocked and
cannot be developed in isolation.

It is a competence that not only have the artists, in any profession you can bring out your creative side, showing your
ideas, presentations and seeking ways to improve the tasks. In the workplace is also important to take care of aesthetics,
and paid attention to detail the work that we do.
The interest for Cultural awareness enables us to understand the cultural and linguistic diversity in Europe and other re-
gions of the world, and the local, national and European cultural heritage.
YOTE projet newsletter No4 | April 2015 10
Key competence 8: Cultural awarenessandexpressionOn the one hand Cultural Awareness and Expression is related to the development of creativity and attention to aesthetics side of the works done at professional field.
On the other hand Cultural awareness and expression is linked
to the interest in the cultural heritage and participation in cul-
tural life.
Cultural expression is essential to the development of creative
skills, which can be transferred to a variety of professional con-
texts.
The individual is able to appreciate and enjoy the
works of art and performances, and self-expression as
well.
Skills include also the ability to identify and realize so-
cial and economic opportunities in cultural activity.
