Resyfac - Reference System For Facilitators of Learning

Aim  

The general aim of this project is to contribute to the recognition/transparency of qualifications of facilitators of learning in the European space and consequently to contribute to a sounder and effective mobility of these professionals in the European Space through the setting up of a Reference System at the European level which will be the basis of a future ECVET System for Facilitators of Learning.

Specific aims  

• To make an investigation concerning the possibilities and the variety of facilitation in a cross-setoral and cross national field: analysis of current practice in countries (27) that have made progress with evaluating and defining the competence of facilitators of learning in their national contexts with the respective specificities and to establish a comparison among the different realities;
• To investigate how can mobility be an added value to the European recognition of the qualification given by the intercultural specificities;
• Developing a typology of knowledge, skills and competences (following the technical specifications of ECVET) based on the comparison of the results and with the perspective of turning effective mobility of facilitators;
• Setting up an European Reference System for the qualification of facilitators of learning;
• To develop a tool which will support validation of individual work experience and learning outcomes, especially during periods of mobility, when people move from one professional environment to another;
• To establish a Fora of consultation putting in place testing scenarios with representative actors like the direct target group themselves, the social partners and other strategic organisations to discuss and get feedback on the results of the investigation, reason why the project involves 4 strategic partners from the VET system of different countries (Advisory Committee);
• To establish an Internet portal that will be a tool for:
  - Sharing and using the information about the project progress;
  - Presentation of the country based map experiences within facilitation of learning in SME’s;
  - Knowledge management system in the field of facilitation of learning;
  - Interactive gateway for using points of reference in cross national settings;
• To disseminate the project results and empower target groups (mainly VET providers, companies, learning facilitators, social partners and other relevant  stakeholders) through the implementation of dissemination and exploitation strategies.
