The world as it is: fragile, unbalanced, degenerative. The world as it could be: resilient, rebalanced, regenerative. Explore with us how particular perspectives on challenge and change can help build flourishing futures for people, places and the planet.
In this interactive events series, we share insights from the RSA’s Design for Life mission, including six perspectives we consider core to regenerative change: systemic, imaginative, adaptive, collective, long-time and authentic. How might we invite these perspectives into all our work to transform our economic, social and environmental systems to be more conducive to life?
We spotlight where these perspectives are being applied within a range of work-in-progress ‘interventions’ by the RSA, as well as by our Fellows and partners to imagine and pursue better futures. Join us to discuss what we’re doing, what we’re learning, and what shows up in your own changemaking work.
The Ufi VocTech Trust and the RSA have partnered to deliver the Digital Badging Commission (DBC), a convening and research programme designed to evaluate and explore the digital badging landscape in the reward and recognition of skills development. The DBC aims to transform how individuals, employers and organisations recognise and reward learning and skills development.
Join Dr. Patrina Law (Lifelong Learning Lead) and the team at this event where they will share the 2025 update to the RSA Badge Standard and a suite of exemplar digital badges, a refreshed and reimagined framework designed to reflect the evolution of digital credentials in a changing world.
The DBC team have researched and workshopped the role of frameworks as a means of providing a level of trust in digital credentials, and have found them to be important in distinguishing the quality of descriptors developed for badges. Originally developed in 2019 as part of the Cities of Learning programme, the RSA Badge Standard helped badge earners and issuers understand the value and context of non-accredited learning achievements in place.
But the digital credentialing landscape has evolved—and so has our Standard. Transferable skills frameworks are numerous now and sometimes complex and there remains a place for a simple standard that speaks to the application of badges/credentials to modern settings.
Complementary to this, the Commission has developed a set of exemplary, fictional digital badges and free to use templates. The aim to provide guidance and practical resources to those seeking more information about what exemplary looks like in terms of issuing their own meaningful digital badges, across a variety of sector use cases.
Presentations from our speakers will be followed by an opportunity for questions and discussion.
We welcome all changemakers who are interested from different fields and disciplines, within and beyond our RSA Fellowship community.
