The aim of this project is to develop and test validation procedures for vocational skills of young people gained outside the framework of institutional education. Research of the Deutsches Jugendinstitut on vocational integration of disadvantaged young people has shown, that integration can be successful if the funding and support network is matched to the requirements and background of the young people in question.

The Inventory 2005 contains a series of 30 national chapters (EU-25, EEA, Romania and Bulgaria) which follow a common structure and report on validation practices in the public, private and voluntary sectors in Europe, 10 case-studies illustrating good practice and a number of synthesis chapters.
EU web site. Joint Actions aim to promote a "Europe of knowledge" and focus on themes that, by their very nature, are not limited to one field alone, i.e. education, training or youth policy. They call for reinforced cooperation between actors from various sectors and fields of knowledge. The EU programmes Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci, Culture 2000 and Youth are complementary instruments that aim to create European-level conditions under which learners of all ages are able to acquire the experience, knowledge and skills they need to live, work and actively participate in society.
To implement the Lisbon Recognition Convention and, in general, to develop policy and practice for the recognition of qualifications, the Council of Europe and UNESCO have established the ENIC Network (European Network of National Information Centres on academic recognition and mobility). The Council of Europe and UNESCO/CEPES jointly provide the Secretariat for the ENIC Network. The ENIC Network cooperates closely with the NARIC Network of the European Union.
This site contains a report of the state of play in validation of non-formal and informal learning in Europe in 2003 and a draft for 2004, including a report from each country. There is also a debate and the relevant documents on the Common Principles for Validation.
YOUTH:
Bridges for Recognition of Youth Work is a European Event which brought together youth workers, trainers, non-formal and formal learning organisers, social partners from the labour market and policy makers, to take further steps towards the recognition of non-formal learning and youth work.
