Recognising non -formal and in formal learning: an open challenge
Recognising non -formal and in formal learning: an open challenge

Summary/Abstract: The social-institutional endorsement towards the perspective of recognising and enhancing learning acquired outside the formal education and training contexts (non-formal and informal learning), has been gaining strength and has entered policy agendas throughout Europe, but also in other major non-European countries. Nevertheless there are still several open issues on this topic both at an institutional and technical level. This paper does not intend to give answers or propose a theory. Instead, it will attempt to formulate some reflections and open work pathways on some basic aspects. • WHAT IS - or isn’t - non-formal/informal learning? • FOR WHOM and with which tools are European countries dealing with the issue of the relationships between formal and non-formal/ informal learning? • HOW, in operational practice, is the enhancement of non-formal/informal learning dealt with?
