Developing All Round Education (DARE+) is an innovative Project in the context of the European Higher Education Area and student-centred competence based learning. The project has brought together a prestigious and complementary group of partners, including leading world expects in the fields covered. The Consortium included seven universities (Trinity College Dublin, University of Deusto, University of Granada, University of Groningen, University of Padova and Uppsala University), an international non-profit association (Education for an interdependent World, EDiW) and the Coimbra Group of Universities.During two years (2014-2016) the DARE+ partnership has evaluated how university students could improve the DARE+ generic competences (ie. Teamwork, Leadership, Project Development and Management, Social Entrepreneurship, Communication, Intercultural Competence and Conflict Transformation) through the combination of formal learning with structured competence acquisition experiences outside the classroom. As stated in the project proposal document, the DARE+ project sought to “rethink in terms of opportunities of developing generic competences – various activities and initiatives that university students can get involved in during their free time.” The identification and analysis of the aspects of the generic competences which can be developed in non-formal and informal environments would lead to a better recognition and further development of learning in non-formal and informal contexts, as well as raising awareness about the development of the above-mentioned competences in such contexts both among students and educators.The main activities undertaken by DARE+ can be summarised in the production of intellectual outputs, the design and implementation of mobility and local activities and the dissemination of results through the DARE+ multiplier event. Along with the DARE+ publication, intended to be a reference tool for students to develop any or all the generic competences, the DARE+ project designed and developed a rubric for assessing each of the competences (DARE+ Rubric), a series of materials for dissemination purposes, a methodological and pedagogical model for the design and implementation of Intensive Summer Programmes, an evaluation system in relation to levels of competences (DARE+ Portfolio) and a strategy for the adaptation of methodology for recognition of prior learning (DARE+ Recommendations). Regarding the mobility and local activities, they have served as the testing ground for a sample segment of the targeted audiences of the project: students and trainers. Two Summer Intensive Programmes and three Train the Trainer Workshops were carried out focusing on each targeted audiences, respectively. Finally, the DARE+ multiplier event allowed for presenting the results of the project as well as raising interest in the assessment and accreditation systems developed, which, ideally, will lead to an impact at a regional and national level.The implementation of DARE+ has resulted in the design of innovative materials, piloted in real-life learning situations which constituted rich learning experiences to students and tutors involved directly in the project. The impact of DARE+ includes the establishment of a close-knit international network of partners committed not only to facilitating and recognising non-formal and informal learning, but also to highlighting the importance of the acquisition of generic competences. Additionally, DARE+ has led to the publication of materials in open format, which will remain available even when the project is formally over, as well as recommendations to universities, networks, associations and authorities at all levels regarding the need to advance in the recognition of the learning taking place in non-formal and informal environments.The partnership of DARE+ believes that the project has made a significant contribution, setting the basis and developing the tools to further work on the evaluation, assessment and recognition of generic competences in non-formal and informal contexts. Along with the materials designed, tested and made available by the consortium, DARE+ has engaged in the incorporation of the assessment and learning tools, and in the recognition of the above-mentioned competences in non-formal and informal environment. In this sense, policy recommendations have been designed in order to support decision-making at a national and local level.
