Digital Badges
A Digital Badge has been developed for the COPE Project. The badge acknowledges the holder’s expertise in developing a curriculum and delivering a customised programme in a specific cultural discipline.
ISIS will issue the badge on receipt of evidence that a facilitator has developed a curriculum and delivered a cultural course for groups or individuals experiencing isolation, loneliness or mental health concerns.
The digital badge recognises the facilitator’s experience and membership of a growing community of facilitators harnessing cultural opportunities as a method of social prescribing. The badge can be added to a facilitator’s cv, social media platforms, LinkedIn or website.
