The European Commission works with EU countries to strengthen ‘key competences’, i.e., the knowledge, skills, and attitudes which may help learners find personal fulfilment and, later in life, find work and take part in society. These key competences include ‘traditional’ skills such as communication in one’s mother tongue and additional languages, digital skills, literacy, and basic skills in maths and science, as well as horizontal skills such as learning to learn, social and civic responsibility, initiative and entrepreneurship, intercultural awareness, and creativity.
