First results from the TRANSVAL-EU project

Interim results from the first year of the project are already available

The Erasmus+ project TRANSVAL-EU is testing inno­va­ti­ve approa­ches to the vali­da­ti­on of trans­ver­sal com­pe­ten­ces. In an intensive first year, a State-of-the-Art Report, country facts­heets on the seven par­ti­ci­pa­ting countries, a Transversal Competence Framework and a Competence Profile of guidance and vali­da­ti­on prac­ti­tio­ners in relation to trans­ver­sal com­pe­ten­ces have been developed. All documents and a news­let­ter on the current acti­vi­ties are available here.
In addition, the repertory / database of tools and methods for vali­da­ti­on is available here
