The present publication is one of the outcomes of the OBSERVAL-NET project (followup of the OBSERVAL project). The main aim of OBSERVAL-NET was to set up a stakeholder centric network of organisations supporting the validation of non-formal and informal learning in Europe based on the formation of national working groups in the 8 participating countries of the project. Each national working group worked towards bringing together key stakeholders in VNIL and political decision-makers at national level in order to coordinate policy implementation in the field. Appended are: (1) Questionnaire used for the case studies analysed in Chapter 1; (2) List of case studies analysed in Chapter 1 and their authors; (3) OBSERVAL-Net Manifesto on wider access and cooperation for strengthening validation practices in Europe; (4) OBSERVAL-Net Advocacy Pack Validation of Non-formal and Informal Learning (VNIL); and (5) OBSERVAL-NET Partners.
