Bridges for Recognition | Sketching the Framework - Offi cial Opening<br />
25<br />
A potential tool comes in the form of the CoE Youth Policy <strong>Report</strong>s (by country). The NFE chapters<br />
have much room for improvement and there is a risk of lip service being paid, but they have the<br />
potential to demonstrate to different sectors, the value of the work that is being done.<br />
The new European Knowledge Centre (www.youth-knowledge.net), which is the fruit of a<br />
Youth Research partnership between the European Commission and the Council of Europe, will<br />
also contain a lot of information about the value and recognition of NFE. It should make it easier<br />
for us to use the knowledge that we already have.<br />
One of the current trends within NFE is towards specialisations, for example in Human Rights<br />
Education or Intercultural Learning. The question this brings for recognition is whether we need<br />
to treat the disciplines differently.<br />
The aims and challenges then are as follows:<br />
To create coherent systems for recognition<br />
To learn self confidence and not be too polite<br />
To be more political – to do what we can for the Lisbon Strategy<br />
And finally to remind the policy makers of their own experience in NFE and youth work…<br />
