Making all Skills Visible: Tools and Methods for Assessing Transversal Skills
NVL recorded a podcast from the final conference of the project TRANSVAL-EU. During the conference, researchers and practitioners shared their work on the validation of non-formal competencies.
What does it mean for the individuals’ employability to get their non-formal skills validated? Why is it important to train validation practitioners in how to assess non-formal competencies? Why do we need to adjust the learning outcomes when we assess transversal skills?
Aljosja Yoshi Ziga on behalf of NVL was at the European Policy Conference in Stockholm and interviewed Fjóla María Lárusdóttir, R&D/NVL coordinator at The Education and Training Service Center in Iceland and Julia Walder, National Coordinator for the National Qualification Framework (NQF) in Austria.

Radio Nordplus - lokalproduktion för vuxna med olika utmaningar
Lokalradioproduktion kan användas som ett viktigt verktyg när det gäller att fånga upp människor som hotas att marginaliseras.

Lilja Rós Óskarsdóttir og Hróbjartur Árnason om utviklingen av voksenlærernes kompetanse
Begrepet voksenlærer må forstås bredt fordi voksnes læring og kompetanseutvikling foregår i forskjellige fora hver dag. Ikke bare i utdanningsinstitusjoner, men også i interesse- og fagorganisasjoner, på private og offentlige arbeidsplasser, samt overalt i sivilsamfunnet. Etter- og videreutdanning for voksne er viktigere enn noensinne for å følge med de raske og kontinuerlige forandringene som kjennetegner dagens samfunn. Arbeidskraften skal oppdateres med ny og annerledes kompetanse i den samme raske takten.
For å møte pressende behov for kompetanseutvikling i enkle og tydelige trinn, gjennomførte Arbeidslivets opplæringssenter og Islands universitet et felles prosjekt med det formål å kartlegge de ferdighetene som voksenlærere må ha, utvikle metode for å vurdere/validere deres kunnskap og kompetanse og stake ut veien til økt kompetanse på feltet. Lilja Rós Óskarsdóttir er ekspert hos Arbeidslivets opplæringssenter og Hróbjartur Árnason er lektor ved institutt for utdanning ved Islands universitet.

Online Education for Prison Officers in Iceland
Starfsmennt is an educational centre for public employees. The centre is responsible for organising trainings for public employees throughout the country.
In 2018, Starfsmennt began working on a project on transforming the traditional on-site training for prison officers into online education. The prison officers needed education that was available from all parts of the country and at all times of the day keeping high quality of the education.
The pilot project was focused on a group of prison officers who needed to complete basic training to get permanent employment. Until last year, this was usually done through education on-site, but during this pilot programme, the focus was on creating and presenting online education through the Eloomi platform.
Listen to the podcast in English and learn more about the experiences and challenges associated with the project.

QR-koder i språkundervisning i Närpes
Den lilla staden Närpes har blivit känd för sitt röda guld.
På nittiotalet såg läget kritiskt ut för tomatodlarna vid den finländska västkusten, men idag blomstrar växthusindustrin. Hjälpen kom från oväntat håll när de första båtflyktingarna anlände. Den svenskspråkiga staden blev snabbt en samlingsplats för 30-40 olika språk och kulturer.
Med hjälp av ny teknik och QR-koder lär sig de nyanlända svenska som första integrationsspråk.
Camilla Lindberg från Nordisk Netværk for Voksnes Læring (NVL) träffade invandringskoordinatorn Lilian Ivars för ett samtal mitt bland gröna växter och tropiskt klimat.
