  2. Observal 2008-2010 An initiative from EUCEN Granted by the European Commission

  3. Initial objectives of the project • Create a European Observatory on validation of non formal and informal learning practices and results in European countries • Collect and update data on regulations, arrangements, standards and references, methods and tools, results and statistics. These data will be presented on a common format • Review national debates and discussions, articulations with European initiatives (NQF-EQF, learning outcomes, adult education plan,…) • Identify good practices (case studies) • Provide annotated bibliography and literature review (researches, surveys, reports,…)

  4. What is not the Observatory • The Observatory is not an Inventory, a presentation of what is happening in a country • The Observatory is not a website presenting just a collection of documents on practices and arrangements

  5. The added value of the Observatory (1) • An analysis of information on validation available in a country • A presentation of these information on a common format and an insertion in the Observatory based on a quality process • A structured provision allowing comparability • A combination of different categories of information • A global resource for actors in charge of validation, for policy makers, social partners, stakeholders,… • An instrument for transparency

  6. The added value (2) • A guarantee that information provided are accurate and regularly updated • A balanced approach between a European dimension and the national or sectoral dimension, comparability not similarity • Contribute to a common understanding of validation • Work on a common language and common definition of concepts

  7. Partners • 24 National trans-sectoral teams • Country leaders • A Steering group • Experts with specific role : analysis of data provided, quality insurance, external evaluation, validation prize,…

  8. The content of the Observatory • It is made of 4 categories of data : • Documents: « official » documents (regulations, arrangements, statistics,…), official reactions from stakeholders (social partners, companies, learning and training institutions,…) and documents produced by actors involved in validation processes (application forms, assessment tools,…) • Annual reports written by national teams on the « state of art » in the country and on progresses in implementation • Case study, best practices in the three sectors (articles, interviews, videos,…) • Annotated review of the most interesting reports, surveys, articles published each year in a country

  9. A website • www.observal.org • Access to 4 categories of documents • Classified by country and by theme

  10. Perspective : questions • Long discussions with DGEAC about sustanibility • There is a need for such a tool • How to update such an instrument? • A permanent European Observatory?
