Following the switch to online PSA meetings, surprised by the pandemic at the beginning of the project launch, PSA is fully back to face-to-face meetings! Before this long-awaited return, three remote meetings took place between December 2021 and March 2022, which served both as preparatory and working meetings before the return to face-to-face workshops.

The December 2021 meeting counted with the presence of Mr Pavol Krempaský from EACEA. This very valuable participation was a good opportunity for the partners to ask questions, but also to show the European Commission the challenges and future possibilities for the project. On this occasion, a three-month extension of the project due to Covid was agreed. The project will then come to an end at the end of April 2023.

The project is currently at the crossroads of the delivery of various methodologies such as on competence assessment and recognition of prior learning, on the finalization of WP3 (Multilevel qualification portfolio on EQF levels 1-6) and the creation of course modules based on the methodology agreed upon by the partners for each level of learning.

In January and March meetings the partners were able to discuss these topics. Overall, there are good results of the review process: the positive contribution of external experts (many representatives from companies, schools, labour market) confirms the quality of the work done. In May in Ljubljana our partner OZS welcomed all for two days of discussions which notably fuelled a reflection on the long-term vision of PSA, the launch of the design of future courses and the development of common benchmarks for the recognition of prior learning.
