The design of the project Informedu was formulated based on the observation that the Italian school system as a whole reflects a low rate of adult participation in formal education. The evaluation and recognition of non-formal and informal learning achievements could improve adults professionalism as well as their re-entry into the educational system, also through a customization and a reduction of the length of education courses. The Italian VET System does not yet have an institutionalized system for validation of informal and non-formal learning, aimed at facilitating re-entry into the educational system. Based on experience matured at both European and National levels in theme of recognition of non-formal and informal learning, the project intends to develop a procedure for the recognition and evaluation of learning achievements in non formal and informal contexts, aimed at improving re-entry conditions in the Education System. The phase of recognition and validation of units of learning outcomes, is focalized on the tourism sector because of the increasing number of individuals working in the tourism sector in the project partner countries. In this way the conditions are developed for the gradual application of the ECVET system regarding the recognition of the results of learning achieved in informal and non formal contexts.
