The objectives are

activities by questionnaires and interviews with learners as well as
learning providers. The results of the survey will be presented in the
first project report.
- to develop a questionnaire for learning validation and launch seven
different online tools that are adapted to the organisations specific
needs and goals. This development process will be presented in the
second project report.
- to disseminate the results of the project and to provide other Nordic and
Baltic organisations from the area of liberal adult education and voluntary
association a easy and cheep posibility for having their own edition of the
online tool.
It is the purpose that the project can promote a humanistic and democratic approach to lifelong learning in the area of liberal adult education and voluntary associations in civil society.
