Validation of the experience of civic volunteering

Abstract

Validation in different languages and cultures means acceptance, recognition, validation of something. If validation is examined from the point of view of previous experiences or the results of learning processes, the knowledge capital that civilian volunteers acquire through their own work inevitably appears, and the validation of which is of great importance in various studies and in assessing suitability for occupations and jobs. The latter is particularly important from the labour market, because it means that not only proving a qualification with a certificate, certificate or diploma makes someone suitable for certain tasks, but also work experience gained as a volunteer in a given field can make up for them. In our study, we examine the operation of validation in the education systems of some countries, with special regard to the recognition and accounting of volunteer work in the civil sector, and we also look at how volunteering in civil areas appears in the perception of human resources.
