The core aim of the ICONET project was to provide tools for the validation of informal learning outcomes, both in different settings and in accordance with the needs of a variety of target groups. In almost all of these cases adaption and further advancement of methods and contents was required, finally leading to a set of context-specific approaches at the validation of informal learning outcomes.

The partners elaborated a conceptual framework, which shall allow for the identification, exchange, sharing and joint reflection of good practice gained in the course of the ICONET project: Sharing ICONET good practice.
