DESCRIPTION

The validation of informal and non-formal learning is of increasing importance across Europe (CEDEFOP, 2009). The KVALUES consortium brings together adult cultural educators from Italy, UK, Germany, Sweden, Estonia, Bulgaria to develop and test the digital storytelling methodology as an innovative tool to guide adults and young adults in disadvantaged conditions to self-evaluate and recognize skills and key competences acquired through informal learning context such as work, volunteering, family and community related activities. Besides contributing to the European debate, KVALUES aims at identifying which competences and skills can be validated by engaging different stakeholders. Luigi Sturzo Institute is the coordinator of this project that involves 7 partners: Coleg Cambria (UK), Grimme Institute Gesellschaft für Medien, Bildung und Kultur (Germany), Melting Pro. Laboratorio per la Cultura (Italy), DIK (Sweden), Tallinn Creative Hub (Estonia), Institute for Humanistic Management – HuMan (Bulgaria).

OUR QUESTIONS:

Is it possible for the digital curricula story to be part of the recruitment process? How?    

To use as tool attached to the traditional CV. “I can’t consider it as a substitute of the traditional cv”.

As unique tool (not added to the traditional one). “It helps me to save time and evaluate more profiles”  

It could be useful to show specific competences, as communication and creativity.  

Is there a specific area where the digital curricular story could be part of the recruitment process?    

Embedded in a job counselling process - it helps people to think about own competences and skills. Helping candidates to be more confident

It could be usefull especially in: -  Creative sector; -  Officies; -  People looking for the first job or with

not long professional experience

During the evaluation for HR, it’s useful to evaluate communication, language and speaking skills.

From a recruiter side is better for - creative professions.

Do you think is a valid tool to show a candidate’s competences in a better way? Could it give him a competitive advantage?  

“The digital curricular

stories is an of the

traditional CV”

Shows the capacity to match competences and communication abilities through verbal communication

It’s a valid tool because it helps to show skills and competences that can’t be highlighted in a traditional CV

Shows more creativity, communication and language skills.
