Inflow Project
This project was conceived in response to the EU Skills and Mobility Action Plan (2002) that included an objective of “working towards greater European recognition of informal and non-formal learning”.
The project’s innovative partnership is comprised of National Accreditation Bodies, Training Organisations, Employers, e-specialists and research organisations
It will:
- Develop a model(s) for the
- identification and recognition of informal learning taking place within SMEs in terms of e.g. communication/working as part of a team/other generic skills
- extension of this informal learning to other employees
- recording the evidence of this informal learning e.g. in an electronic portfolio or other e-records
- Develop methodologies for the accreditation of the informal learning achievements
- Pilot the methodologies in the engineering sector in the UK to test them in the workplace
- Test the transferability of the model between Member States by piloting the methodologies with the Engineering Sector in France, Germany and Sweden and between production and service sectors by piloting in the Hotel and Hospitality sector in Spain, France and the UK
