n 121 en route vers la validation des compétences
2005-6: Schools for Europe Community College III
ACC (Association for Community Colleges) will be carrying out a one-week community college for 20 young Europeans with the aim of discussing validation (valuing) of non-formal and informal learning in community college activities and explore validation methods in order to validate the real competences achieved in non-formal and informal learning. The purpose of such methods is to create greater visibility and give the possibility of comparison across cultures.
Outstanding Global Work award (Oct.7th)
How can we validate nonformal and informal learning? How can we develop a set of common principles regarding validation in order to ensure greater comparability between approaches in different countries and at different levels? Theses issues are being discussed in the EU for the moment. The ACC-members have also discussed theses issues in order to find a suitable way to validate the learning at the European Community Colleges. You have the possibility to read a summery of the main points from the validation debate a long with some comments on the concept of the Danish Folk High Schools as source of inspiration for the First European Community College. Read more here, get inspired and maybe you feel like expressing your opinion about how to validate the learning at the FECC…..
