Procura parceiros Desired partner The European Union has set itself the ambitious goal, to become one of the Ideia e tópicos para most advanced economic society on this globe. o projecto Project idea and key To achieve this, citizens of the EU need constant up-date of their skills level - some groups even more than others – to catch up with the requirements words of such a goal. Further education and lifelong learning are seen as appropriate instruments for achieving this target, however, there are people, who lack the urge to learn and improve their skills and ultimately themselves. The Learning Partnership we propose wants to address this issue by valuing all skills and competences people have adopted by living their lives, solving occurring problems and managing crisis. The project is to focusing on validation and certification of those skills, by raising people's awareness of skills and competences already available to them. The hypothesis is, that everyone learns something, either consciously or unconsciously, just by conquering challenging life or job situations and solving every day problems. By acknowledging their prior learning, people develop a new perspective on education and eventually adopt principles of Lifelong Learning. Through desk and field research - in a non-academic way - partners identify appropriate existing methods/tools for validating nonformally and informally obtained competences and rank them, according to their area of applicability. In several local test courses or workshops partners will road-test a variety of identified and ranked methods/tools in order to develop a good selection of Best Practice examples throughout the partner countries. The tested selection of appropriate validation methods/tools including findings of conducted surveysand recommendations - will be presented on a project memory stick and the project website.
