🛠️Open schooling

A framework for a multi-layer engagement of the learners

What is it about and why is it relevant ?

( under development )

Open Schooling supports schools and local stakeholders to use research and innovation as a tool for tackling local challenges and contributing to sustainable community development. Open Schooling Hubs work as mediators in each local community, positioning schools as active agents for collaboration between families, universities, research institutes, industry, enterprises, media, local governments, civil society organizations, and wider society, by engaging in real-life projects that meet societal needs.

The Open Schooling model offers a great opportunity and useful insights that may support the implementation of CENTRINNO School local programs and FCHs as interconnected spaces for intense collaboration and innovative actions with other stakeholders. Open Schooling creates links between schools and the community to engage different kinds of learners.

Fab City Hub Network's members by developing programmes in collaboration with vocational schools will greatly benefit by this framework because Open Schooling ensures a multi-layer engagement of the learners (from technical problem-solving to community engagement). Open Schooling shall be used from the very start of the programme to involve the stakeholders in the whole process, from identifying an issue to sharing the results. Open Schooling might be a challenging framework to put in place in schools and it requires time for continuous assessment. A dedicated training is therefore needed to become familiar with Open Schooling.
