Annual ECVET forum, Taking the next step: Building the ECVET community of practice, Brussels, 31 May - 01 June 2012.
The 3rd annual ECVET forum is the major 2012 event dedicated to the development of ECVET in Europe.
The 2012 forum focuses on how to transform the current ECVET initiatives, projects and networking activities into a reliable, resourceful and sustainable cooperation towards 2014; letting the ECVET community of practice take shape.
The implementation of the European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) is progressing across Europe; Member States are setting up the necessary conditions for ECVET implementation. Good practices, solutions, proposals and debates emerging from examples of projects, strategies in progress throughout Europe and of networks in development will help participants to set up their own approaches and policies.
The forum is open to any interested member of the European ECVET network. If you already belong to the ECVET Network this will be a great opportunity for discussion, reflection and cooperation. If you are not yet a member, this is also an opportunity for a first involvement in the ECVET Network. To be part of it, just apply on the ECVET Team Website: www.ecvet-team.eu. The 2012 ECVET forum is co-organised by the European Commission, Cedefop and ECVET team.
