European inventory on validation of informal and non-formal learning 2010 – Bibliography

The European Inventory provides a unique record on how validation is already being used at national, regional and local level to address issues relating to lifelong learning, employment and social exclusion. This is particularly important in the context of the current economic crisis, which has accelerated the importance of validation drivers identified in the 2007 Inventory, such as the need for effective re-deployment of the adult population into employment.

This bibliography provides access to 34 country reports, 10 case studies and 4 thematic reports, in addition to the final report and executive summary, updated in 2010 by GHK Consulting on behalf of the European Commission and in close cooperation with the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Education and Training (Cedefop).
