EU VIP - Validation of Informal Learning
The Grundtvig multilateral project VIP (Validation of Informal Learning in European Projects) seeks to assess and evidence the competence development of team members working in European projects and wants to improve the visibility of informal learning that takes place in collaborative European projects, networks and partnerships. VIP is a project that works in the framework of the REVEAL, the Research and Evaluation group for Validating, Evidencing and Assessing informal and non-formal Learning. Validation and certification of learning outcomes is a priority in the EU 2020 targets.
The Grundtvig network consortium aims to create a European wide network of adult education organizations actually running Grundtvig courses or planning to do so in the future. In the network we will share expertise, create and share useful material and enhance communication and cooperation in order to improve the quality of Grundtvig courses, to enlarge the scope of provision and to improve the visibility and success of the action and the courses.
Bircham International University contributes to the research of the Grundtvig multilateral project VIP with its course: the "Effective Pedagogical Approach for Adult Distance Learning Higher Education" reviewed and approved by the OAPEE - Organismo Autónomo Programas Educativos Europeos.
The European Commission Grundtvig Program has considered BIU pedagogical methodology an innovative adult education practice that should be exchanged with professionals and bodies involved in lifelong learning and adult education at local, regional and national levels.
