A compendium is a "collection of concise but detailed information about a particular subject, especially in a book or other publication".
ImproVal's Compendium on validation tools for volunteers aimed at doing a synthesis. It is completed by an annex (excel file with list of all tools) and a map of the tools. Its preliminary results are presented in the project's first Webinar.

ImproVal partners co-published a new study which aims to discover whether and how volunteers and voluntary organisations have been able to use the outcomes of validation.
On 29-30 of October, partners from 5 countries met in Helsinki to kick off the ImproVal project, which, over the next two years, will focus on improving validation in the voluntary sector. Partners shared their experiences from previous validation projects.
On 16 and 22 June, ImproVal partners organised a series of three webinars on the topic of learning new skills in volunteering and validation of non-formal and informal learning (VNFIL).
There are dozens of tools for validating volunteers’ skills. Are they good and what would make them better? Have they been helpful to you? Tell us about your experiences!
