Expert Seminar

Hosted and organised by the Nordic Network for Adult Leanring (NVL), the AVA expert seminar took place in Oslo, Norway in the first week of February 2016. It was attended by more than 45 European experts on validation as well as practitioners from different educational sectors. Participants had the chance to learn from successful practices, debate the main challenges non-formal adult education providers are currently facing in implementing validation systems in the EU and contribute to the final output of the project, the AVA Action Plan. All this happened in a professional, stimulating but relaxed atmosphere, boosted by an interactive event methodology.
