Promoting LLL in HE by implementing innovative practices in RPL - EDUPROHigher education institutions and lifelong learning education keep searching for new ways of coexistence and cooperation. The important task of finding the right framework and right solutions to recognize prior learning outcomes resulted from everyday life experience, work environments and numerous social practices became a priority task in integrating HE and LLL.HEIs in Poland are currently in the stage of intense search for their own strategies and solutions when it comes to integrating LLL and RPL. Erasmus+ creates possibilities of learning from the experiences of more advanced partner institutions in EU, analysing their policies and strategies and build its own systems and tools of RPL while allowing European partners critical view of their own practices through action research process and the exchange of their experiences in the field. EDUPRO project was responding to the need of: widening participation in education for adult learners ( over 25 years old), promote and validate learning in non-formal and informal learning settings (i. e. workplace learning), create new curriculum and educational programmes for learners without prior academic experiences. Added value of the project was the involvement of other stakeholders (employers, local government, NGO’s) in the process of shaping key competences and skills essential for the market, local communities and active citizenship practices. There were four HEIs involved in the project, all of them experienced in participation in international research projects: DSW (University of Lower Silesia) – non state academic HEI established in 1997 in Wroclaw, Poland. University of Algarve, Portugal - HEI well known for its reach network of international cooperation and strong ties with local stakeholders. University of Warwick (UK) – one of the biggest and most prominent HEI in Great Britain with reach offer in LLL. University of Gdansk – one of the top state founded HEIs in Poland.Activities within the project led to create and test best practices and solutions (organizational, institutional, procedural and staff related) in LLL and RPL based on more advanced partners’ experiences, and to analyse current state of the art in RPL in EU based on resources of HEI. Main tasks of the project were: sharing experiences between partners, sharing resources and working materials, comparative studies between institutions as LLL leaders (case studies, action research, documents analysis), experimental implementation of RPL solutions in Poland based on recommendations for Polish practitioners in HEIs, creating an educational offer for learners from non-academic environments (non- traditional learners of all age and background).The outcomes of the project are both intellectual (institutional profiles, recommendation, research report on action research, guidelines for staff, website, papers and articles) as well as promotional and linked with dissemination of the project results (conference, workshops for the stakeholders). Long term results of the project are: raising awareness of LLL significance as a key learning practice through disseminating the outcomes of the project after its finishing, involving every possible open access resources to promote it.Long term results of EDUPRO are focused on HEIs and address the necessity to open up towards new groups of learners with diverse learning experiences, social and cultural capitals as well as new learning resources.
