The main theme of the 3rd VPL Biennale in 2019 was ‘Making Policy Work – Validation of Prior Learning for education and the labour market‘. The mission of the 3rd VPL Biennale therewith was – and still is – to share information, knowledge, ideas and visions on VPL, learning from each other’s experiences and creating viable solutions in the ‘VPL world’
The article on ‘Coordinating Validation and Career Guidance’ (in the ‘Chapter Support Structures’) is based on a research study led by 3s.
Research work supporting the study was carried out under a Cedefop’s framework service by Mariya Dzhengozova (3s), Karin Luomi-Messerer (3s), and Michael Richardson (ICF) and coordinated by Pedro Moreno da Fonseca (Cedefop) and Ernesto Villalba (Cedefop).
