L.I.N.K. (Learning and Innovating through New Knowledge) is an educational e-learning programme which focuses on key social challenges of our times. L.I.N.K.’s educational tools and courses are based on the values of human rights, non-discrimination, gender equality, social inclusion, respect for diversity and intergenerational solidarity and are designed for contributing to addressing important challenges that modern societies face.

The program L.I.N.K. is the result of the collaboration between COFACE Families Europe and  KMOP’s Education Hub. COFACE offers the program its extensive knowledge on issues related to families at the European level, while KMOP, based on its long-term experience in actions supporting children and young people, as well as its knowledge in educational planning, provides documented and modern educational methods.

The courses may follow asynchronous, synchronous, and blended e-learning methods, through all the series of educational modules that are developed. These educational modules provide learners with new skills and solutions to societal challenges affecting families of today, supporting also the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and the European Pillar of Social Rights.
