informal learning, for recognition and credentialing, and creation of
educational resources

employers and society
4. use technologies that are relevant and affordable for all
5. promote accessible lifelong learning that can be applied across
languages and cultures

8. Educators should:
1. ensure that learners feel that their skills and their
knowledge are useful
2. apply distant, online education with blended
approaches
3. integrate vulnerable groups as part of the lifelong
process
4. encourage learners to become self-motivated to
develop their knowledge and soft skills
5. facilitate peer-to-peer learning and interactions
