The Deutches Jugendsinstitut features the ICOVET project looking at the recognition of informal learning as their theme of the month on their web site.

Ah an all to brief holiday - but I had a great time at the Cambridge festival and will write about it at the weekend.

But now back to business. I have been doing some work for the ICOVET project coordinated by the Deutches Jugendsinstitut. The project is looking at the recognition of informal learning for socially disadvantaged young people. The DJi is featuring the project as its theme of the month on their web site.

the web site includes the background to the project and an interview with Ulrike Richter from the DJi. There is a short article by me comparing the recognition of informal learning in the UK and in Germany. And there is an excellent article by Magda Balica on the potential of the recognition of informal learning for young people from the Roma community in Romania.

Well worth checking out. And it is good to see topical and well thought out presentation of project work on an institutional web site.
