Inspiring recognition practices and tools

In this section of the Visible Value, you may find the real treasure from the field of recognition of youth work. This is a well-selected collection of the recognition tools and practices that have been developed all over Europe.

We hope it will inspire you to develop your own or at least to imagine what the recognition might look like in very practical terms. Our intention is that this collection is regularly updated. So, if you are aware of other tools and practices that deserve to be included, please, let us know. In the meantime, enjoy the current collection.

Back ELD: Experience – Learning – Description

Recognise your learning and turn your experiences into competence

Short description:

Experience – Learning – Description, or ELD, is a dialogue and documentation process to identify valuable skills, talents and character traits shown through real experiences.
The process results in a summary of specific experiences accompanied by key words that describe areas of competence. ELD is operated under the guidance and support of a certified ELD Facilitator, with the overall system being managed by Aprendi from Stockholm. The method is used internationally as a valuable tool to provide evidence of experiential learning. For a complete overview of the ELD process, visit the ELD website.
