The recognition of prior learning and skills acquired by students through citizenship-related activities and other types of involvement means taking up a challenge for the academic staff in higher education. How to define extracurricular activities (ECA) learning outcomes, how to assess them and ensure their quality? How to translate them as ECTS? How to build them into a professional or academic learning path? In France, a bill on equality and citizenship due in 2017 expects HEIs to recognize the skills acquired by students in "voluntary, salaried and entrepreneurial work " through ECTS. This issue is also part and parcel of the European democratic project that aims at reinforcing citizenship. As such, it is therefore one of the pillars of the Bologna process which promotes students involvement and aims at ensuring they are considered as key stakeholders in the development of higher education. When considering the conditions for the practical implementation of ECA recognition, multifaceted questions arise and need analyzing from the different stakeholders' viewpoints (students, teachers, employers, policy makers, Rectors ). Translating ECA into ECTS means assessing skills and the coherence of learning paths that cannot be solely defined by their academic or professional curricula. This project aims at building a comprehensive framework of reflection that encompasses the ethical and practical issues raised by the promotion of students' personal activities. It shall offer the stakeholders input on the conditions that need to be met to overcome the resistance and ease a fair recognition of ECA. Voir l'article...1 mars 2017
