A playlist is an organised learning pathway with selected Activities.
﻿
You can choose which activities you want to include in a playlist, set their order of appearance and decide on mandatory and optional activities for completion.
﻿
Playlists enable learners to track their progress. They guide people through learning, civic or career pathways.
﻿
Follow the steps to create a playlist. You may use this worksheet to develop your ideas and design a playlist before uploading activities on the platform.
﻿
Together with your team start by choosing a topic, interest, or competence for a playlist - learning pathway. Think about something which would be valuable, needed and demanded in your city or region.
Define a clear goal that is realistic and linked to the activities you are proposing. Make sure it is achievable in a given context. Then connect the goal to a topic, interest or skills chosen.
Add up to 5-7 learning activities that would be most interesting and beneficial to learners. Combine both digital and in-person experiences to increase engagement. Keep it light and dynamic, set a clear and realistic time frame.
Test your playlist with potential learners to collect their feedback and 
improving the playlist accordingly.
