Validation IssueS Induct a Basis for Learning Evaluation
Visible Project is aimed to develop a validation methodology for non-formal learning process in order to allow the Development Agencies and the Development Actors to recognize organizational positions and related competences. In particular, each member of the organization involved should be able to identify what are the positions of his colleagues, their competencies and responsibilities.
A common horizon of vocational training, where not only the settings and practices of learning are shared but also the key references and standards, is a crucial precondition for this process to start. Besides technical background, project managers need to have horizontal competences – such as Organizing, Networking or Communication – to continuously improve through a non-formal learning process that the Project identifies in the “Case Histories”.
Visible’s purpose is to transform these case histories into a non-formal learning patrimony for the whole sector of European DAs and furthermore to establish Visible as a common methodology of validation of non-formal learning for horizontal competencies. Visible Project has been approved under the Lifelong Learning Programme – Leonardo da Vinci- Development of Innovation, by the Education, Audiovisual & Culture Executive Agency, in September 2007. For more information about the project, please visit the official project website.
Dekut participates in almost all project activities and will play a fundamental role in the second experimentation of the validation methodology. We are responsible for dissemination and exploitation in Hungary. Dekut also hosted the second meeting of project participants in Debrecen in June 2008.
