25-04-2007 AVSO is involved with the organising of a conference on the "Mutual recognition of skills and competences learned through volunteering: Towards a European Debate" in Brussels on the 22- 24th May 2007. The MOVE project focuses on mutual recognition of skills and competences learned through volunteering amongst different stakeholders from the voluntary sector, business, formal education and government as well as accreditation bodies . It brings together various stakeholders with their tools and experiences in the field of identifying, assessing and recognizing skills gained through volunteering. The main objective is to create a space for the exchange of approaches, needs and knowledge between these actors. The core of MOVE will be a three day conference in Brussels in May 2007 bringing together 60 experts and practitioners in the field and providing a space for presentation of good practices, identification of barriers that hinder collaboration of the different stakeholders and discussion on common standards. The participants will debate the possibility to develop a “ European Volunteer Pass ” , a portfolio of skills and competences learned through volunteering that could contribute to the current work of the European institutions on the recognition on non-formal learning and the European Qualification Framework. The results and the experience of the seminar will establish a European Thematic Network that will take further the debate and work on implementation of the results. We are still looking for best practices and sharing of information - as well as experts who can facilitate workshops. If you find this relevant and interesting, please fill out the template of good practice (if you want to present your experience in a workshop) and the expert template (if you want to sit on the panel as an expert) and send it back to me.  The project can finance  the travel of 45 delegates from outside Brussels - and can invite another 15 from Brussels . The other 40 persons that can come to the conference will have to pay a registration fee and their travel and accommodation. (the 60 get all free, hotel included). If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us (AVSO), and if you are interested in participating, please get back at the latest on Friday 27 th April.
