thank you for your interest, your comments and your questions.

It looks very interesting and it seems like a first real attempt towards recognition of non formal education?…

It can certainly contribute to the recognition of non-formal education, but don’t forget that this needs to be taken forward step-by-step.

But is this just an experiment, or is it the spark that will light the fuse?

All innovations are experiments by definition. Who knows what light will be fused…?

By the way, is it possible to apply yet?

No, not yet. We’d like the course to start in autumn 2007, but it might also begin a little later than that.

Are any practitioners involved in the planning group? And will there be a(nother) time at which practitioners will get involved in the planning?

Yes, practitioners are involved, among them former participants of ATTE (Advanced training for trainers in Europe), experts from the Youth Centres of the Council of Europe, representatives of the European Youth Forum and more. Of course we’d also like to integrate more practitioners as we move along. The next planning meeting is foreseen to take place in September in Finland and will be another opportunity to do so.

Best wishes, Lynne
