OBJECTIVES: The TENCompetence Winter School is considered as an intense training and collaboration on the core topics related to the TENCompetence project (http://www.tencompetence.org), building the European Network for lifelong competence development.

The first Winter School (http://www.tencompetence.org/node/116) received  positive feedback from the attendees. The main theme of the second event will be Personal Competence Management. The programme includes lectures and hands-on sessions from leading experts in the field. We want to offer enough space for interactive sessions, informal discussions, group work, and students’ presentations. Our ambition is to stimulate emergence of communities of practice and learning networks as well as to support joint research opportunities. PhD students and other interested people from the PRO-LC Cluster as well as from outside are invited to participate and become part of the TENCompetence research community.
