FOCUS
THE LLLPLATFORM AND
THE NEW SKILLS AGENDA FOR
EUROPE
The New Skills Agenda for Europe will certainly have been one of the hot topics
in Education and Training in 2016, and the LLLPlatform was active on this
major policy document to advocate the interests of its members and partner
educational stakeholders.
MAY
TION Position Paper EU Skills Agenda:
PO A SI P E R Political will, synergies and
P
impact!
“The LLLPlatform calls for a strong European
Skills Agenda coming up with national and
regional action plans and the active involvement
of all relevant stakeholders. It should place a right
emphasis on making education relevant to the
needs of our societies by increasing synergies
between employment, social and educational
policies. This means overcoming resistance in public
administrations in order to break down silos between
actors, policies and instruments and to engage
stakeholders.”

Objectives & Priorities
InnoVal Project (Innovative Assessment Methods for Validation) aims to address
the urgent need to offer valid & reliable assessment methods that allow all
learners to have a chance at validation with a special focus on disadvantaged
groups such as migrants, long-term unemployed, and those who have had
an adverse experience with formal education including with school-based
assessments.
Project Phases
The first stage of InnoVal will review the state of play regarding the
use of non-traditional assessment methods across Europe, while
focusing on the needs of the specific target groups. The research
phase will lead to the collection of 60 case studies which will set the
basis for the development and piloting of a Training Programme on
the implementation of innovative assessment methods, organised
around Open Educational Materials and targeted at validation
practitioners.
