On January 22 and 23, 2026, a key training session of the Erasmus+ MOCHILA Project was held at the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente (ITESO), the Jesuit University of Guadalajara, Mexico, as part of the project’s capacity-building activities.
The session was delivered by Dr. Carlos Delgado Kloos and Dr. Carlos Alario-Hoyos, academics from Universidad Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M), a partner institution in the MOCHILA consortium. They shared European experiences in the design and implementation of micro-credentials.
During the workshop titled “The European Approach to Micro-credentials and its Application in the Latin American Context”, participants were introduced to the main foundations, regulatory frameworks, and standards developed within the European Higher Education Area. The session also provided practical tools for the design of micro-credentials, addressed quality assurance mechanisms, and explored viable implementation pathways for higher education institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean.
This training is part of the MOCHILA Project’s capacity-building strategy, which aims to promote more flexible certification models aligned with employability, lifelong learning, and the international recognition of skills.
The participation of project partners in this activity strengthened the exchange of experiences between Europe and Latin America, contributing to the development of a shared framework for the design and issuance of micro-credentials in the region. It also highlights the role of the UNESCO Chair in bridging European experiences with educational innovation processes in Latin America.
