Non-formal learning in National Qualifications Frameworks and validation arrangements
On the 28th of April 2021 the NOVA-Nordic project carried out a digital seminar to discuss non-formal learning, non-formal qualifications and links between validation arrangements and National Qualifications Frameworks.
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.
