Micro-GEAR will support structural reforms in the higher education sector of Georgia and Armenia, with the aim of introducing and facilitating the broad proliferation of micro-credentials as a tool for improving relevance, quality and flexibility of higher education. The project aligns with the European Council's Recommendation on micro-credentials for lifelong learning and employability. It aims to update National Qualifications Frameworks in two countries, establish consensus on micro-credentialing principles, promote educational activities for micro-credentials, and facilitate mutual recognition.

On December 11, the Center for Ecological-Noosphere Studies (CENS), NAS RA, hosted an inspiring workshop dedicated to shaping a brand-new micro-credential on the Basics of Environmental Sciences.

Meeting regarding the Development of Microcredit Programs in Georgia will be held on December 5 within the frames of Micro-GEAR project at the University of Georgia. 

The Management Board Meeting of the Micro-GEAR project was held online and focused on planning upcoming activities, deliverables and course material development.
