Reconnizing life skills: validation of prior learning
Adults have a lot of different life skills acquired at different ways and in different periods of life. Education does not
only mean school. Life long learning is given high priority all over Europe and it consists of formal, informal and also
unformal components as a continuing process of life irrespective of age and place.
Adults also travel a lot and most European countries have many immigrants coming both from European and non
European countries. The school systems vary a lot and former education and knowledge is not easy to identify and
accredit in new countries. Many refugees might not even have any diploma to show. This again makes it difficult to
enrol the adult school system and also to find a job in the labour market. However, each country needs all the human
capital and qualifications each member has got. Identification, assessment and accreditation of competence in respect
of upper secondary education have high priority in many countries and will be the focus in this project.
