“Lisbon Strategy” and its successor, “Europe 2020”
The European leaders want to turn Europe into the “most competitive, knowledge based economy in the world”.
Europe is NOT gifted with many natural resources
“Rich potential of human resources” Ageing society, EU NOT qualified for education A substantial investment in education and
training and the introduction of the concept of lifelong learning.
The European Commission has pointed
out that key competence development is
imperative in order to reach the Lisbon

Explosion of Knowledge and half-value period of knowledge (18 months)
ICT (r)evolution
C.Bauer, Aqueduct, October 2010
Reproduction vs. production of knowledge New media: overnews‘d and
underinformed Validation of information Focused on learning output rather than
people („human capital“) Different levels of learning, focus on :
- Knowledge (…reproduction) - Attitude/ skills ?
- Application/action ?
- Initial training +
- Continuous system of additional training
- Formal – non-formal - informal learning
- Validation of competence development
Formal learning: tip of the iceberg of learning…
Growing internationalisation, the rapid pace of
change, and continuous roll-out of new technologies
Europeans must not only keep their specific job-
related skills up-to-date, but also possess the
generic competences that will enable them to adapt
to change.
Social cohesion: many Europeans feel left behind and
marginalised by globalisation and the digital
revolution.

4. Validation
Validation is the process of identifying, assessing and recognising knowledge, skills and competences acquired in formal, non-formal and informal settings.
• Accelerating ‘credentialism’ – ”Qualifications necessary”• Making human capital visible • Skill shortages – validation of existing skills – identify gaps;
reduce time & money spent • Unemployment - identify existing skills for alternative
employment/support to get employment• Mobility agenda• Social inclusion agenda – low-skilled/low qualified adults
need to identify competences & potential • Lifelong learning agenda– motivation; access; exemption;
awards
