Together with policy makers, practitioners, researchers and other stakeholders involved in further developing and implementing the Validation of Prior Learning, we will draft and adopt the Berlin Declaration on Validation, setting the benchmark for validation systems worldwide. Invited presentations in four workshops for each of six policy tracks will lay the foundation for this declaration:
|
|
- Organisational arrangements
- Financing
- Procedures and instruments
- Support structures
- Post-validation pathways
- Legal foundations
|
|
|
As soon as the program is finalised registered participants will be asked to indicate their preferred workshops. The conference dinner will take place right in the heart of Berlin at Unter den Linden 1. It poses the perfect networking opportunity and also includes the awarding ceremony of the 3rd global VPL Prize in the three categories: products, procedures, and policies.
