NVL, in partnership with the Education and Training Service Centre (ETSC) in Iceland, has developed a model for co-creating meaningful and sustainable solutions.
The Sustainable Model for Change is designed to address complex societal challenges and co-create meaningful solutions towards sustainable change. NVL has applied this methodology to working with challenges linked to digitalisation and the target group of hard-to-reach learners and with challenges linked to integration and learning. Both, the researchers, and the practitioners, who have used this methodology recognise that it can be adjusted and used in different contexts and with different target groups.
The Sustainable Model for Change methodology supports:
- Building networks across sectors and countries around a common agenda.
- Joining forces of citizens, organisations and policymakers for collaborative actions.
- Involving relevant stakeholders in the whole process of creating and testing solutions.
The model is developed in a project led by the Education and Training Service Centre (ETSC) in Iceland and the Nordic Network for Adult Learning (NVL) as a part of the Icelandic presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers. It has been explored at a Nordic conference in 2023 and in a research and development project for digital inclusion 2021-2022.
