The Knowledge Innovation Centre is a dynamic consultancy focusing on knowledge brokerage and innovation of knowledge transfer processes. Its mission is to transform the ways we learn and work to give the opportunity to every person to reach their full potential. We take a systemic approach to change, focusing on improving education & skills policies and practices globally, via cooperation with governments, international organisations, universities, and civil society.
EngageAll’s focus on inclusive education and student engagement combines two key areas of expertise and interest of KIC and its staff team for this project.
KIC has been putting great effort in projects that focus on increasing the attractiveness, accessibility and quality of higher and vocational education, by connecting the worlds of policy making, education and work, by stimulating the market offer of placements in SMEs, by empowering Mentors, and by improving apprenticeships management.
In the field of Education for Social Cohesion we have contributed extensively to the areas around inclusion in the last few years, through projects such as: InclusiPHE, InclusiVET, #Multinclude, Moonlite, NEXUS and #IBelong.
KIC plays a key role in the EngageAll project, leveraging expertise in Student Engagement and Inclusive Learning Pathways to deliver strategic communication and maximise outreach.
KIC collaborates with the partners in the development of all deliverables and will in particular co-lead, together with MCAST, development of a Student Ambassador Scheme and together with UCLL the Student Engagement Course.
We support the project coordinator, develop and manage the project’s communication strategy, including the website and content creation.
Additionally, KIC provides digital solutions, ensuring seamless collaboration and research across the partnership.
