What's This?
Digital Badges are a form of portable microcredential which evidences your investment in particular areas of specialism.
Your badge contains data which authenticates the achievement to you. You can download an image with this data embedded and share it via a 'backpack' (such as Badgr) or use your Rise Transcript to maintain your profile.
This credential recognises the effort the holder has invested in developing global awareness and gaining experience of being a global citizen. Involvement could range from cultural and language learning, to collaborations and seeking opportunities to gain greater knowledge and awareness of our connections within the world locally to globally.
Activities that contribute towards gaining these competencies involve understanding the benefit of appreciating other cultures and communities; how to communicate and be a part of international communities; taking part in shared experiences with members of other communities from around the world; and how to be culturally competent and promote a positive and inclusive world view.
