Work package objective and activities:

WP3’s goal is to test the methodology providing a feedback and a validation.

WP3 is divided into 3 phases:

•    Diagnosis: Partners will carry out interviews with stakeholders in order to identify conditions of Zones of Mutual Trust. The case studies will be selected taking into account Mobility Projects run by partners during the period, similar quality standards, particularly for evaluation and validation, similar modalities of collaboration with stakeholders.
Before the implementation, the WP will produce:
- description of qualifications in terms of units of learning outcomes and associated ECVET credit points;
- description of qualifications in terms of learning pathways and associated ECTS credit points;
- general agreement with a host partner and appropriate stakeholders settling terms of the Mobility programme, the learning outcomes expected to be achieved and the ECVET and ECTS credit points.

•    Implementation: 3 case studies based on running mobility programmes will be carried out.

- CS1 Plastics Industry (EQF 4 and 5)
Coordinator: Fédération de la Plasturgie
Partners: CCIP-CFI, Rectorat de Paris, Econometria, ZDZ
Field of experimentation: Horizontal mobility at level 4.Vertical mobility between levels 4 and 5.
Number of learners involved: 80

- CS2 Hospitality Management (EQF 4, 5, 6 and 7)
Coordinator: Stratford College
Partners involved: CCIP-Tecomah and Stratford College’s partners outside the consortium (Ecole de Savignac and Thames Valley University)
Field of experimentation: Hospitality and Catering is an industry that requires its workers to be mobile and to experience different national types of cuisine and services in order to progress in their careers. The Foundation Degree in Hospitality Management has a vocational and academic approach. The qualification needs to be recognised by both VET and HE.
Number of learners involved: 130

- CS3 Training of trainers (Adult education EQF 6 or 7)
Coordinator: DEKRA
Partners: CCIP, USP Venezia (with University of Padua)
Field of experimentation: Training of trainers is a key sector considering the scope of the project and the stakes of a joint implementation of ECVET and ECTS. This case study will elaborate the consequences for trainers’ qualifications with regards to the concept of learning outcomes and the methodological didactic approach of learning-by-doing.
Number of learners involved:  30
