The project
Transversal skills are an implicit part of the existing validation and guidance processes: the aim of TRANSVAL-EU is to experiment on how to make those skills more explicit and to embed the lessons learned in validation and guidance provisions. TRANSVAL-EU proposes innovative approaches for the validation of transversal skills acquired through non-formal and informal learning (VNFIL), which will be tested in five pilot countries – Austria, Belgium, Italy, Lithuania and Poland. TRANSVAL-EU aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of validation assessors, counsellors and career guidance practitioners on transversal competences through capacity building. The project strengthens cross-sector cooperation between practitioners, policymakers, and other stakeholders in order to build coherent VNFIL systems. This project is co-funded by Erasmus+ KA3 Policy Reform – Policy Experimentations.

Deliverables
The project
The project, which runs until May 2020, is intended to lead to the creation of a single platform of support, guidance, and advice to the European authorities in the development of sector-based public policies in the field of personal and home services. In concrete terms, the project will enable the organization of 21 national workshops and seminars organized in EU Member States, which will allow the exchange of good practices, the deepening of research and the development of a consolidated social dialogue between the many players in the sector, be they trade unions, employers’ organizations, ministries, or civil society actors. It will ultimately promote the development of common instruments to all EU Member States, and provide tools for public policy advice by the EU authorities.
