DISSEMINATION / VALORISATION PLAN AND ACTIVITIES PRESENTED BY DR SHYAM PATIAR

INTRODUCTION “Valorisation” can be described as a process of exploiting project learning and outcomes (training products and processes, methodology, course materials etc.) with a view to optimising their value and impact in existing and new contexts (target groups, companies, sectors, training institutions and systems etc). To be effective, the process requires:

A focus on end user / target group needs from project inception; Dissemination of innovative training products and results; Selection and analysis of their suitability for transfer to meet identified new needs; Translation and adaption to targeted new contexts; Piloting and experimentation; Leading to full integration into the new context. This process can take place at the micro project level or on a macro level, with the aim of achieving full and sustainable integration into local, regional, national and / or European training systems and practices, including through formal certification of qualifications.
