The long-awaited recommendations of the European Parliament and of the Council on EQARF and ECVET, adopted on 18 June 2009, are a major step forward in the renewed Lisbon Strategy and the Copenhagen Process for vocational education and training.
They provide solutions to several related issues - among others, the mobility of learners in Europe, quality in VET provision and management, and helping learners create their own pathways to qualification. To translate these recommendations to reality, all stakeholders need to be closely involved. This is the aim of the launching conference: to bring together all stakeholders, explain what is at stake, show what has been achieved so far, and invite them to help shape the process with their own actions and ideas.  More information can be found here.
