Assessing Voluntary experiences
-
- IRIV has been selected under the Leonardo da Vinci
programme (call for proposal 2003) "Lifelong learning". The
project is called "Assessing voluntary
experiences : identifying, evaluating and validating skills and
qualifications acquired through volunteering as an informal
learning for a professional purpose". Seven countries have
been selected : France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Poland
and the United Kingdom. This project is
supported by the European programme Leonardo da
Vinci and the Regional council in Champagne
Ardenne for the experimentation
in France.
The web site of the project is on line : www.eEuropeassociations.net.
Presentation
Associations may be the ideal place
to get accustomed and trained to novel and innovative solutions and
practices, to experiment or acquire new skills. For volunteers, a
voluntary experience may lead or facilitate a professional career.
Identifying and evaluating the skills and qualifications acquired
through volunteering in the associations should be the way to
recognize and validate this informal learning. It should be very
useful for people who have no professional experience to face with a
first activity (youngsters) and for people who have been kept away
from the labour market to renew with a professional activity (parents
who have raised their children, sick people when they have recovered,
prisoners when they are free...). A voluntary experience is an
alternative way to experiment, develop or renew with specific skills
and qualifications in a specific context, nor public nor private,
with both professional and non professional staff, with the goal to
include and serve the general interest.
State of the Art
Our project consists in :
- a statement of the recognition of
voluntary work in each of the 7 countries and the kind of training
proposed by professionals to volunteers and the qualifications
they require ;
- a synthesis of the main skills and
qualifications developed in the voluntary activities and the ways
and tools to identify them for professionals ;
- a proposal and experimentation of
validation for these skills and qualifications in the short term
for the associations, in the long term for their partners (public
and private sectors..).
Objectives
Building a double network :
- A network of experts : Centrum
Wolontariatu, European Centre, FIVOL, IRIV, ISIS, IRV, OKA
;
- A network of associations and partners
in 7 European countries.
Elaborating tools and methods :
- to identify and evaluate the skills and
qualifications required and acquired in volunteering ;
- to validate these skills and
qualifications in a professional perspective
Experimenting this identification,
evaluation and validation
- through the network of associations
- making a proposal of general validation
for the 7 countries and/or specific to each of them.
