The 5.0 Learning Cube constitutes the central curriculum for Open Badge certification of 5.0 related knowledge within CoDEMO. As a framework, the Learning Cube allows for institution-specific as well as innovative configurations of learning paths.

Dimensions of the Learning Cube

The Learning Cube incorporates the following three learning dimensions, which correspond to the pillars of Society 5.0:

• Resilience
• Green
• Human-Centricity

Each learning module can address the three dimensions of an Organization 5.0 to varying degrees and thus contribute to individual skills development in a complementary way. Notably, the 5.0 pillar of Digitalization is not a learning dimension as it is already an essential component of the three defined learning dimensions and acts as the causal source/foundation of new development opportunities in these areas.
