This project builds on the assumption that the validation of skills acquired in non-formal and informal settings provides a cost efficient solution to current education challenges by offering another route to qualification especially for those who dropped out from the system. More...

The UNIBILITY project aims at strengthening the relationships of universities with their local communities through USR (university social responsibility) activities. Specifically the project will develop strategies on how universities can increase their social responsibility actively on student and researcher level, it will develop and implement USR service learning projects impacting the local community in the area of environmental, social or economic research, and will develop a USR Curriculum and train university management and students with it. More...

In the European scenario of community care, informal care givers - volunteers or family - are key players in the new welfare.
There is an important difference between European countries in relation to the balance of formal care (provided by paid staff) and informal care (largely paid by the family). However, the contribution of informal care givers is everywhere essential and it is therefore necessary to put in place effective measures to support them. More...

MODERN intends to increase the ability and motivation of teachers and trainers to use digital learning resources as a means to more effective, relevant teaching, thereby causing a positive impact in their students (learning outcomes and engagement) and in the sector as a whole (ability to provide relevant training, keep pace with the technological changes taking place around them.) It will focus primarily on VET teachers and trainers and HEI teaching staff. More...

This project responds to the demand for better policy and practice, in enhancing the contribution that adult education can make in Europe in the 21st century and in meeting the Europe 2020 targets on employment, poverty reduction, education, sustainability, innovation. It will bring together academics, industry partners and young people from eight countries in Europe to explore the current status and future prospects for adult education to contribute to enhanced levels of social inclusion for all at the same times as paying particular attention to the social inclusion of younger people whose opportunities have in many contexts been severely affected in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis.

Social inequality is growing in Europe. It is urgent to adopt research-based policies providing guidance in shaping the transition towards a just, socially inclusive society.
European Union’s future is increasingly depending on the young generations, who have to cope with the responsibility of an aging population. In this context, young adults (15-29) education is a priority, specifically those with low levels of functional literacy, those not in education or training or those in situations of near social exclusion, who could be helped much more effectively if adequate young adults’ education policies were designed. More...

The CAVAL project will develop a generic and flexible model and methods for valuing knowledge, skills and competences acquired through formal, non-formal and informal learning. The project will develop an innovative and a user-centred approach to validation thus contributing to the development of coherent and consistent validation arrangements at regional, national and European levels.

Globalisation dictates that EU2020 will only succeed if member states bring out the best of people and their potential and extend education opportunities for all people. TANDEM is designed to contribute to the debate on reform by drawing lessons from already existing good practices of consortiums' partners and strengthening the connection between policymakers and practitioners, business and educational community. The title, TANDEM, intends to emphasize the synchrony and efficiency of business, VET and HE actors by acting together for high quality VET aligned with regional and global labour market demands to proactively respond to emerging skills shortages.
