Shaping Microcredentials for Local Public Innovation
Learning Innovation, One Microcredential at a Time.
How can micro-credentials help strengthen innovation in local public administration? This question was at the heart of a co-design session held at INA, I.P., where IPB, in partnership with INA, I.P., brought together local civil servants for a forward-looking discussion within the INNlocal project.
Built around active methodologies and collaborative dynamics, the session created a space for joint reflection on new learning pathways for the public sector. Participants were invited to share perspectives, discuss needs, and contribute to the development of micro-credentials designed to support innovation in local public administration.
The activity forms part of INNlocal’s broader effort to co-design training and capacity-building opportunities that respond to current public sector challenges. In this context, micro-credentials are being developed as flexible learning tools connected to key areas such as innovation, environmental sustainability, diversity and inclusion, and citizenship and participation.
By involving local civil servants directly in this process, the session highlighted the value of collaboration in building practical, relevant, and future-oriented training pathways for a more innovative, inclusive, and citizen-centred public administration.
