Building learning societies: Promoting validation of non-formal and informal Learning

The project aims at developing specifications and means for the implementation of an awareness-raising campaign regarding the validation of non-formal and informal learning (NFIL) outcomes, as a tool to further improve career perspectives for adults, and to further enhance opportunities for education and learning (boost of lifelong learning). The project is aligned with the European Commission's Recommendation regarding the validation of non-formal and informal learning (NFIL), while it also serves the objective of transforming European societies into "learning societies".

The above mentioned objective will be achieved by formulating and exchanging good validation practices on the NFLI outcomes, and by promoting validation of such qualifications as a necessity at EU level amongst adults, education and training providers, employers and trade unions, through the publication of a European guide featuring the respective guiding principles.
