description "This book presents, in a European perspective, a comprehensive survey of practices and issues arising in the area of validation of non-formal and informal learning (NFIL). The survey is based on updated results of a project conducted in 2011 and 2012 for the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) by a team from Groupe ALPHA with funding from the European Commission’s Employment DG. In a context where the dynamic management of vocational pathways and transitions has been attracting increasing attention, NFIL recognition can benefit a wide range of social groups, in particular the most vulnerable. After a survey of the main NFIL issues and diverse national experiences as regards validation, the book describes these issues in the context of European challenges and policies on education and training, drawing attention to common problems encountered in implementing NFIL validation frameworks and processes, as well as to specific instances of successful implementation programmes. Also broached are the issues of collective bargaining and tripartite dialogue on NFIL validation. Detailed national surveys on the challenges and initiatives of NFIL validation cover a total of ten European countries: Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, and the United Kingdom. A concluding chapter proposes a set of specific actions designed to improve the visibility of, and access to, NFIL validation"
