Bridges for Recognition | Different Stakeholders - Different Needs<br />
57<br />
Stakeholders<br />
Following the Good Practice workshops and the Networking Fair, the next opportunity created<br />
by Bridges was for the groups of different stakeholders to meet together to discuss the needs<br />
of their particular sector or interest group.<br />
Seven groups were convened and conference participants were free to choose which group they<br />
felt most aligned to. Facilitators were asked to chair the debate towards the following questions:<br />
1. What are the needs of the different stakeholders?<br />
2. What are the gaps in the recognition debate?<br />
3. What is missing in the recognition instruments?<br />
4. What could be the way forward?<br />
Groups were asked to nominate a reporter from within the group who would supply notes for<br />
this report and present to plenary the following morning. The sections below were compiled<br />
from those two sources and hence have a variety of length and detail.<br />
A number of common themes emerged from these discussions:<br />
1. Most stakeholder groups recognised the need for the development of a common language of<br />
recognition of Non-Formal Education that would help to define it and explain the scope of<br />
it. With a language comes the need for translators and interpreters to ensure the language<br />
can be used and understood internally and externally.<br />
2. Allied to language is a wider process of developing a culture of recognition. Such a culture<br />
would include partnership, consultation (taking into account the needs and constraints of<br />
partners) and cooperation.
