VPL -Biennale 2017

Beskrivelse

PROGRAM OF THE 2ND VPL BIENNALE
Validation is increasingly recognised as the key component for the individual´s possibility to manage shifts in modern life in terms of lifelong learning and career. To make VPL a core element in life and career self-management, the individual needs information, guidance and counselling, emphasising both learning and work perspectives in order to secure longer term relevance and value for the individual. The mission of The 2nd VPL Biennale is to share information, knowledge, ideas and visions on the practice of VPL: the user at the centre. The user should be understood as the learner, the worker, the unemployed, the volunteer and the employer (the practice of VPL focusing on protagonists/users (learner, worker, unemployed, volunteer) and key stakeholders (employers, educational institutions, trade unions, authorities).
To fulfil the vision, the main questions to be answered by researchers, practitioners, policy makers and stakeholders involved in this Biennale will be:
 How to move from fragmentation to integration in VPL arrangements?
 How to support and serve the user in the VPL processes (identification, documentation, assessment and certification)?
 How to understand the usefulness of validation seen from the user’s perspective?
 How to understand the biography and career development from the individual perspective?
 Which are the professional roles to be filled-in?
 The key question through all activities: How to improve VPL practice with the individual use at the centre?
