Recognition resources
In this section, you will find publications, web resources and events all connected directly or indirectly to the recognition of youth work. The list is not seen as being complete and it is acknowledged that the reader will see some as not relevant and would like to see others included. It is intended that this resources page should be updated regularly. The section paints a large picture of the recognition work that has and is being conducted across Europe.
Each resource is hyperlinked through its title and comes with a short summary. It is recommended that you use the tags to search for a particular theme or topic rather than scrolling through the long list of documents.
Subtitle: The European Inventory on Validation: 2018 Update
Author(s): CEDEFOP
Date: 2018
Summary link to Recognition:
This web page contains a number of resources. There are two Synthesis reports; one on Europe in general and the other with a focus on Kosovo*, North Macedonia and Montenegro. There are country reports for each of the European Union Member States, plus a few other countries. There are 5 Thematic reports, for example; digital assessment, and validation for migrants and refugees. Finally there are three case studies from Canada – validation of prior learning; Chile – recognition of lifelong learning; and Hong Kong – training provision in the employment sector.
The focus throughout all the information is very much on ‘validation’ and ‘non-formal and informal learning’ as the title suggests. There are few references to youth work or the recognition of youth work, however as a resource for understanding the broader context of developments and recognition of non-formal and informal learning, this resource is excellent.
