Destination Evalidation

The Destination eValidation (DesTeVa) project wanted to find a way to recognise and validate volunteers’ informal learning and experiences in a way that they could be used to help a volunteer find employment, either as an unemployed person or as an economic migrant to a new country. With this in mind, the project had five main outputs:

1. A review of existing validation tools and their structure in relation to the NQF (National Qualifications Framework)
2. The development of a methodology for validation of volunteering experiences
3. The creation of an online tool for validation of volunteering experiences
4. Production of an eBook about volunteering validation tools, methodologies and their connection to the NQF and EQF (European Qualifications Framework)
5. Engaging in stakeholders in seminars and a transnational conference.

The process has taken us two years and we have used a variety of methods to achieve our objectives.

The Validation tool has been completed and is already used for validating volunteering skills. Join Validation tool now.
