The purpose of the seminar was to discuss how to compare different approaches on how non-formal learning and/or qualifications are included in national qualifications frameworks and if validation procedures are available in this context. Participants had the opportunity to discuss the topic and to help the project develop a comparative framework that will be used when comparing and analysing different country approaches.
