/CREATE Conference/

Date: 20^th September 2013
Venue: Sofia, Bulgaria

in the frame of “Leonardo da Vinci” project № 2011-1-BG1-LEO05-05036

Aim:

The aim of CREATE conference is to present the current situation and tendencies in the validation of informal (self-acquired) learning. Having in mind that validation and recognition of learning outcomes is closely related to ECVET (The European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training), the additional aim of the conference is to enlighten on the current tendencies in ECVET.

Context:

Often people engaged in creative fields such as web design and computer animation have gained their knowledge, skills and competence through a kind of informal learning. Informal learning occurs in a number of places like learning at home, work, during daily interactions or sharing knowledge in communities. Gradually validation of the results of informal learning has become a EU priority in the field of VET being “seen as a way of improving lifelong and life-wide learning”.

Although addressed to a different extent in various EU countries, the issue of validation of the results of informal learning is still insufficiently explored and undeveloped in Europe.

CREATE conference is organized by Student Computer Art Society (SCAS, Bulgaria) and CREATE project partners: National Agency for Vocational Education and Training (Bulgaria), DEKRA Akademie (Germany), Fastrack into Information Technology ltd. (Ireland) and National Student Information and Career Center (Bulgaria).

Organizers have considerable experience in developing approaches and tools for validation and recognition of learning outcomes, ECVET policies and practices and in the two project subjects – web design and computer animation. The organizers are also working in collaboration with ECVET experts from EU institutions, European training associations and universities, some of them will be invited as key speakers to the conference.
