This report is the Spanish contribution to CEDEFOP's project on identification, assessment and recognition of non-formal learning, which was initiated in 1997. Studies in this field have been conducted in a majority of Member States of the European Union (EU) as well as the European Economic Area (EEA), with only Luxembourg and Iceland not yet included. The project objectives are: to identify to what degree methodologies for the identification, assessment and recognition of non-formal learning have been introduced in the respective country; to identify how methodologies for the identification, assessment and recognition of non-formal learning are integrated into and supported by existing institutions and systems; and to analyse the political context surrounding the introduction of methodologies and systems. Spain is one of four Mediterranean countries covered in the project and this report gives a comprehensive overview of developments as well as reactions from the different players involved in Spanish initiatives in the field.
