Review of the state of the art & consolidated competences list

EU approval still pending. 

This deliverable provides a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art competence frameworks in the EU and globally, as part of Task 2.1 of the ERASMUS+ ComeThinkAgain project. The objective is to identify and analyse how competences in Computational Thinking (CT), Entrepreneurship Education (EE), and Green Skills (GS) are currently integrated into educational systems. By examining existing frameworks, policies, curricula, and practical implementations, the deliverable aims to contribute to the development of a standardized global competence framework that promotes employability, creativity, and new career pathways.
The report begins with a detailed exploration of the definitions and importance of CT, EE, and GS, providing a foundation for understanding the relevance of these competences in the current and future job market. Existing frameworks such as DigComp (Digital Competence Framework), EntreComp (Entrepreneurship Competence Framework), and GreenComp (European Sustainability Competence Framework) are assessed in terms of their applicability, strengths, and gaps. Through a cross-analysis of these competences, synergies and overlaps are identified, highlighting the potential for integrated approaches to education that address multiple competence areas simultaneously.
Moreover, the deliverable evaluates various training methods and curriculum integration strategies across primary, secondary, vocational, and higher education settings. It emphasizes the importance of embedding these competences within educational frameworks to prepare students for the evolving labour market, particularly in sectors driven by digital transformation, sustainability, and entrepreneurial innovation.
Finally, the document proposes a consolidated ComeThinkAgain competence list, designed to enhance employability and foster interdisciplinary skills that align with market demands. This list serves as a stepping stone toward a globally recognized competence standard, supporting institutions in developing education and training programs that are relevant, forward-thinking, and aligned with sustainable development goals.
