[apeid.higher_education.bgk] Last call: Request for Use Cases of Micro-credentials in Asia-Pacific (15 July 2022)

Dear Colleagues,

 

Warm greetings from UNESCO Bangkok!

 

We are approaching a deadline to help UNESCO prepare a policy brief on micro-credentials in Asia and the Pacific. This effort builds on the Tokyo Convention Committee and global work published recently: Towards a common definition of micro-credentials. With support from the Japanese Funds-In-Trust (JFIT), we anticipate 8 individuals or small country teams from throughout the Asia-Pacific region will be selected and provided a modest contract (estimated 12-15 days of work each).

 

Could you please help us engage diverse experts and countries throughout Asia and the Pacific?

 

By 15 July, we hope to receive a brief proposal:

  • An up-to-date CV (e.g. for 1 or more individuals involved);
  • A brief technical proposal of 1-2 pages discussing the country selected in Asia-Pacific and approach/methodology to undertake the assignment (see the link below);
  • A financial proposal (e.g. estimated 12-15 days of work). No-cost proposals are also welcome if funds are not needed.

UNESCO is committed to achieving diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities, as well as nationals from non-and under-represented Member States are equally encouraged to apply.

 

Warm regards,

 

Wes Teter
