Short description:
UNIQUE Learning Badges is inspired by the developments of Mozilla Open Badges and driven by the need to better recognise the non-formal learning of young people. Young people learn a lot through youth work activities but they find it quite difficult to name what they learn and explain this to others. Thus a European Partnerships was formed to create the UNIQUE Learning Badges platform which enables any organisation to design their unique recognition system and use Open Badges to reward learning and achievements.
