The Curriculum Development Canvas (CD Canvas) is a one-page inquiry-based collaborative exercise to guide the design of training curricula focused on competence development.

It is free to use (see links on le9 for more guidance), and was inspired by different business and Human Resource Development canvas models.

Originally designed to support the design of training for low-skilled or unemployed adults, it has now been used to design different types of training including successful testing using EntreComp as the basis to design entrepreneurial learning activities.

The objectives of using the CD Canvas

are threefold: y To identify the different elements of a curriculum and their dynamics y To create a training curriculum based on competence development y To check and analyse needs, methods and impact To design training courses which specifically develop entrepreneurial competences, users should use EntreComp as the starting point of their thinking.

Here is a suggested structure for a workshop which uses a group work approach to develop new training using the CD Canvas: A) Introduce Curriculum Develop-

ment Canvas Methodology (30 minutes) 1. Present the CD Canvas Method and elements (allowing time for questions) 2. Prepare for the work on CD Canvas by using guideline questions i.e. guiding the whole group through a short session to explore the needs of the end-users (i.e. learners), inspiring ideas towards curriculum-building where they can input available/relevant material and further develop it B) Draw your CD Canvas (90 minutes – working in small groups) 1. Place a large copy (ideally A1-size)

GOALS

EntreComp is perfectly adaptable to the youth work ecosystem. Proper training along with youth-work-proof activities must be designed in order to embed it into non-formal learning.

CD canvas on each group table with Post-it notes to help complete it 2. Ask each group to start filling in the Canvas, firstly using EntreComp as a starting point, focusing on the needs of the end-users they have identified earlier in the workshop, and using experience and contents from their own organisations (50 min) 3. Emphasise that this is a teamwork approach, and encourage them to talk to the facilitator to help out and answer questions C) Reflect and Revise (40 minutes) 1. Reflection: invite the teams to reflect on the discussions so far, in order to identify elements in the Canvas that may need to be modified 2. Identify difficult points: using the Canvas you drew, circle the building blocks where you feel dissatisfied or challenged 3. Explain that the CD Canvas works in a dynamic way, so to check if any changes being considered may impact on the other elements 4. Revise: switch half of the team in each table (so each small group has new members). Newcomers will now act as consultants and help out the group to find solutions 5. Tell the newcomers to go through the guideline questions and add new

ones, including about the most challenging building block(s) if necessary.

Write them down and discuss between whole team D) Reinvent (50 minutes) 1. Ask the original group members to gather again at their own tables 2. Explain to them that they need to modify the blocks and evaluate effects 3. Referring to the group responses to the questions, list the modifications they would like to make to your building blocks in their table 4. Redraw or modify the CD Canvas: Ask the groups to rewrite the elements they consider necessary on Post-it notes (different colour), this time, guided by the feedback they received, including the new ideas from the “revise your CD Canvas” activity and their questions E) Final presentation by each team and debriefing (30 minutes).
