Project about setting up a cooperation network in the system of non-formal learning recognition (2012-2013) was initiated
In March 2012, the EU Lifelong Learning Programme KA1-ECETA2 project “An integrated system for the recognition of non-formal learning: the establishment of the national cooperation network” (Val-Net) was initiated, and its activities will conclude on 28 February 2013.

The aims of this project are:
- To raise awareness concerning the recognition of non-formal and informal learning, as well as regarding the development of the European and national policy framework in Latvia;
- To promote cooperation between various levels of education system, e.g., between policy and practice levels;
- To develop a sustainable information exchange mechanism – cooperation network of national scale.
The topic of this project – the recognition of non-formal and informal learning linking general, vocational and higher education, lifelong learning and labour market – will be explored in to national level conferences, four regional forums, as well as during seminars and round-table discussions.
The Val-Net project is implemented by five partners – the National Library of Latvia (the coordinator), training and consulting centre Baltic Bright Ltd., the National Centre for Education, the Latvian Adult Education Association, the Library of Gulbene, – and by one associated partner – education association IFORTUM.
The first Val-Net project conference “The system for the recognition of non-formal and informal learning outcomes in Latvia” is planned on 13 June 2012.
The conference agenda is available here (in Latvian).
