transversal competences in Europe
About this Event
TRANSVAL-EU
Both in work settings and in daily life, there is a growing need for individuals to develop high-level competences to address complex challenges. Transversal competences set the foundation for personal development, resilience, the ability to communicate and work constructively with others, problem-solving skills, and the ability to manage one’s learning and career. Yet transversal competences are. not always valued or made visible in guidance and validation processes for adult learners.
TRANSVAL-EU, one of the largest policy experimentations in Europe, has aimed to bridge this gap in guidance and assessment in the area of validation of non-formal and informal learning (VNFIL).
The TRANSVAL-EU research conference to be held in Paris 18 – 19 April 2023 will:
Share opportunities to explore and debate dimensions of research, policy and practice in this area
Share results of the TRANSVAL-EU research study, including findings from the impact study among the involved practitioners and validation candidates (adult learners) and good practices from the pilot study countries (Austria, Belgium, Italy, Lithuania, and Poland).
The TRANSVAL-EU research conference will show the innovative studies concerning the impact of validation processes for adult learners and especially the impact on their daily lives and their labour market position in addition to the impact on the competences of the practitioners involved. Besides, it provides opportunities for researchers to share their work in the field of validation of non-formal and informal learning (VNFIL) of transversal skills, including panels, a poster session, workshops, and a networking event. A call for short papers on key questions addressed during the conference will be published as a compendium following the conference.

About TRANSVAL-EU
TRANSVAL-EU is a 30-month project funded by Erasmus+ KA3 Policy Reform – Policy Experimentations (February 2021 through August 2023). The project has involved 16 partners from 7 countries as well as diverse education and employment stakeholders.
The experimentation has proposed innovative approaches to validation of transversal skills in five pilot countries (Austria, Italy, Lithuania, Poland and Belgium. A key component of this project has been the monitoring and evaluation of the project outcomes and impact of the experimentation’s field trials on practitioners and validation candidates including, socio-economically disadvantaged adults.
