Flexibility : european definition

Readiness to review opinions and courses of action in the face of new  evidence. Intellectual interest and curiosity are needed to be able to explore new situations with openness; so too are the capacities to negotiate and to weigh up different points of view.

Understanding and adopting new ideas, approaches, tools, and actions in response to changing contexts.  Being flexible means having an
attitude of openness to novel ideas, tools, or ways of doing things, and being able to deal with uncertainty.

Managing transitions in personal life, social  participation, work and learning pathways, while making conscious choices and setting goals. The ability to proactively look for opportunities, learn continuously, understand and adapt to changes, will represent a competitive edge
for citizens.
