Developing, Assessing and Validating Social Competences in Higher Education (DASCHE) - “ Erasmus+ project
DASCHE (Developing, Assessing and Validating Social Competences in Higher Education) is a project under KA2 of the Erasmus+ programme; it researches if and how students learn social competences during their higher education study; now frequently neglected.

The main objective of the DASCHE project is to support policy learning between countries and higher education institutions in curriculum development, assessment and validation of social competences of students by developing models of formulating and assessing these competences within higher education programmes and providing good practices to inspire decision maker in higher education institutions and at system levels.
