A European policy experimentation project in validation of prior learning
Welcome
This website presents an overview of the activities and progress under the VISKA Project. Visible Skills for Adults, VISKA in short, is a policy experimentation project, funded under Key Action 3 of the Erasmus+ programme, which focuses on support for policy reform. The priority theme the VISKA project resides under is "Employment and Skills: validation of informal and non-formal learning in Education and Training". In 4 countries across Europe, Norway, Ireland, Belgium (Flanders) and Iceland, field trials have been implemented in validation services which involves migrants, refugees, low-skilled adults, guidance counsellors and other frontline staff. The project was coordinated by Skills Norway. The evaluation was carried out by the Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) in partnership with local evaluation teams in each country.
