Competencies, Working Groups and Workshops: Interview with UbuntuKids and The Chamber of Social Values
In a society where cooperation and inclusivity are central, developing and sharing competences is always important. UbuntuKids and De Kamer van Sociale Waarden play an essential role in this by not only letting participants discover their skills, but also actively involving them in social projects. In this interview we explore how competences are recognized, how working groups function and which workshops contribute to a valuable learning experience.
The power of competencies
Competencies form the basis of a participatory society. Within UbuntuKids the emphasis is on social, professional and personal skills such as leadership, problem solving, creativity and technical expertise. The Chamber of Social Values has developed an interactive interview system where participants can make their practical choices and receive advice about their possible role within the organization.
Working groups as a driving force for collaboration
Working groups are an essential part of UbuntuKids and The Chamber of Social Values. These groups are grouped together based on different interests and skills and focus on themes such as sustainability, education, social justice and complex innovation.
Participants collaborate on projects, share knowledge and develop practical solutions. Thanks to a digital infrastructure, they can participate flexibly and earn badges that make their contributions and skills visible within the network. Such a development in which both experienced professionals and newcomers can grow and make an impact.
Workshops: Learning and innovation
To support the development of competences and collaboration within work groups, targeted workshops are offered. These range from technical trainings and leadership programs to creative sessions using theatre and film as a learning tool.
UbuntuKids uses film and theatre education to teach children essential skills such as collaboration, critical thinking and empathy. The Chamber of Social Values offers workshops on digital security, social engagement and policy making, allowing participants to apply their knowledge directly to concrete projects.
Interview with the initiators
The founders of UbuntuKids and De Kamer van Sociale Waarden share their vision of a value-driven society:
“Our approach revolves around recognizing everyone’s potential and creating an environment where learning and contributing go hand in hand. By stimulating competence-based collaboration, we build an inclusive and sustainable society.”
In addition, the importance of privacy and ownership in the learning process. Participants receive their interview results in a personal digital wallet and decide for themselves how they share this information. This innovative system, combined with Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), guarantees their autonomy.
