Project Summary

Project “INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCE TOWARDS NON-FORMAL LEARNING RECOGNITION” aims to rise the social recognition of effects of non-formal education. Despite of existing instruments of non-formal learning outcomes validation, theirs social recognition in many countries/areas is lower than expected. Organisers of local activities don’t have access to any universal tools for recognition of learning outcomes, and preparation of own documents summarizing the learning outcomes are often underestimated.

Our projects is aiming to change this situation. Together with organizations from Germany, Romania and Czech Republic we are initiating long term activities in order to establish an universal tool of validation learning outcomes of activates outside the Erasmus+ Programme. During fourteen-months-long project we are planning to implement following activities: designing and creating the universal certificate (during two interiantional sminars and local debates and social consultations), which will be used by young people for validation of learning process during activities they are joining outside the formal educational system and lunching the online platform for creation of those certificates. During the evauation of the project we will carry out a complex examination of quality of cometences mentioned by participants in order to measure the impact and quality of the project.

Our target group are young people, representatives of youth NGOs, public education institutions and entrepreneurs. Together we will create a universal certificate, which will be accessible by wide group of young people. For the first six months the platform will be available for 80 selected participants, but after end of pilot period it will be open for public.

As the result project will contribute to rising of social recognition of effects of non-formal education as well as positive attitudes towards its value. The certificate created during the project will be available for public also after the end of the project what will enhance the value of non-formal education and its professionalization.
