Short description:
‘Moje izkusnje (My experience)’ is a digital tool for the validation and recognition of competencies gained through student work, created by the largest employment agency for mediating student work in Slovenia, ‘e-Studentski Servis’, in cooperation with Institute Nefiks. The tool was awarded a good practice award by the youth section of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and mentioned as good practice in the ‘Resolution on Recognition of Non-Formal Education in Slovenia’.  In addition to the development of the tool itself, e-Studentski Servis has initiated a national campaign for the better recognition of young people’s competencies gained outside formal education, targeting a wide range of stakeholders (e.g. youth NGOs, policy makers, formal education, employers, etc.).
