The BUPNET team is glad to communicate that the project PROVIDE was selected for funding.
PROVIDE stands for PROmoting the Validation of Informal and Non-formal Learning and the Development of Key Competences for Professionals in Vocational Education.
The professional development and the improvement of the quality of adult learning staff have been recognised as a priority at European level. However, at European and national levels there is not always a clear view of the competences needed to fulfil the professional tasks in vocational and adult learning, partly due to the diversity of the field.
The project seeks to respond to the European needs by developing specific measures, instruments, strategies for recognition, validation and certification of the competences acquired in non-formal and informal settings and contexts of educators in AE and VET.
The project started on 1st October 2013. The first project meeting of the seven partner organisations from Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, France and the Netherlands will take place in Göttingen on 9./10. December 2013.
