Figure 3: Stakeholder groups for the “Different needs” discussions<br />
After these reports first thing on Saturday, Bryony Hoskins reminded participants of the need<br />
for clarity of the language used when discussing recognition (p. 28). Bryony also introduced<br />
participants to the new web based resource, www.youth-knowledge.net, to be launched during<br />
the Luxembourg Presidency of the EU and which would contain significant information on the<br />
subject of recognition.<br />
Hot Issues in recognition were the subject of the final two working sessions of the conference.<br />
These were introduced with a brief input from Manuel Souto from ECOTEC who encountered<br />
these controversial issues while carrying out a “European Inventory of the Validation of Nonformal<br />
and Informal Learning” (p. 66).<br />
The broad topics are listed below: participants had the opportunity to take part in two different<br />
discussions to cross-fertilise the discussions with arguments from their first discussion group<br />
or they could stay on in their first choice after lunch.<br />
• Transferability across countries and<br />
organisations<br />
• Responsibilities and resources for<br />
recognition<br />
• Social recognition of youth work<br />
• Transferability between sectors<br />
• The creaming effect - recognition and<br />
equality<br />
• Recognition of trainers in non-formal<br />
education<br />
