DARYA capacity building and peer learning event on reco­gni­ti­on and vali­da­ti­on of prior learning

Last week, the European Training Foundation invited to a three-day stakeholder seminar on recognition and validation of prior learning in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

The seminar was organised as part of the DARYA project (thematic Module 2), a European Union initia­ti­ve to support young people in Central Asia through streng­thening the quality and inclu­si­ve­ness of education, training and employment systems as well as regional coope­ra­ti­on. The European Training Foundation (ETF) as imple­men­ting orga­ni­sa­ti­on hosts a series of capacity building and peer learning acti­vi­ties in the area of qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons deve­lo­p­ment. The latest seminar brought together over 50 stake­hol­ders form five Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan) and several EU countries (the Baltic countries, France) and agencies to faci­li­ta­te exchange and mutual learning on policy prio­ri­ties and practices of reco­gni­ti­on and vali­da­ti­on of prior learning.

Mariya Dzhengozova (3s) par­ti­ci­pa­ted as a coor­di­na­tor of the team of DARYA’s inter­na­tio­nal experts on qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons systems and frameworks.
