Content
Learning is changing rapidly, and workplace learning and training are as well. How can we come to terms with this change practically and concretely? Can we use agile methodologies to create better results, faster - in support of new workplace learning? What are useful strategies in order to avoid making wrong investments? What is the future of methods such as gamification? What is the impact of new forms of working?
We believe these and many other related questions can only be answered by sharing our knowledge and experiences.
This Pre-Conference Workshop (co-organised by GIZ’s Academy for International Cooperation and the International Training Centre of the ILO) will be facilitated as a bar camp in an open-space format and will focus on concrete practices und proven cases brought in by a team of expert facilitators and by you, the participants.

Everyone interested in sharing their thinking and practice vis-à-vis new workplace learning in formal and non-formal learning settings from the workplace-learning sector, education institutions, the policy sector, and governmental organisations
Outcomes
Take-aways include personalised learning bricks, enriched insights into the manifoldness of workplace learning, as well as ideas on how to challenge workplace learning in an open and non-formal manner!
