On June 3, 2025, Prof. Carlos Delgado Kloos, Director of the UNESCO Chair “Scalable Digital Education for All” at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), together with Dr. Carlos Alario Hoyos, Deputy Director of the Chair, participated in the event organized by the Micro-GEAR Project at Yerevan State University, Armenia (educate.uc3m.es).
During their intervention, the representatives of the Chair shared experiences on the evaluation and articulation of micro-credentials, presenting results obtained in the European region and comparing them with approaches used in Latin America and the Caribbean. The event provided a valuable space for dialogue on quality criteria, institutional recognition, and best practices in the implementation of micro-certifications.
This participation strengthens the international collaboration of the UC3M UNESCO Chair and expands its involvement in global networks for digital education. It also represents a significant contribution to the MOCHILA Project, as it enables the exchange of models and assessment tools that can be adapted and used to enrich micro-credential frameworks within higher education institutions in Latin America.
MOCHILA is a project funded by the European Commission aimed at developing a reference framework for the design and issuance of micro-credentials in Higher Education Institutions across Latin America and the Caribbean. The initiative promotes flexible, modular certification systems aligned with lifelong learning.
