European Union. Lifelong Learning Programme. Leonardo da Vinci. Label professionnel pour les métiers de la fonction RH

European Project with six more countries about the development of the HR profession in Europe and the model that academic institutions should use to train to future professionals.

Label PRO HR

LABEL PRO HR is a european project involving 5 mediterranean countries (France, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Turkey). It aims to reinforce the professionalization of the HR profession through developing european frameworks for job and training. The findings are tested and presented in each country by the academic partner and the local professional association.

"Tertiary Education and Economical actors, primary Human ressources manager and recruitings agents, will need to have clear criterias and tools to evaluate level of qualifications, diplomas, at national, as well as at European levels". That is the LABEL PRO RH Target.

Using Professional Repositories collected from the field with FMRH (Fédération Méditerranéenne des Ressources Humaines) as key coordinator in coordination with local professional associations, the LABEL PRO RH will be developed through European EQF/ECVET frameworks and tested in 5 countries (France, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Turkey) in 2011.

Our Difference is Our Strength: Developing and Enhancing Europe’s Cross-Cultural Competences
Objetctive: Cross-cultural competence, which is the ability to successfully deal with cultural differences, is essential for the effective functioning of individuals and societies in today’s culturally diverse world. Without these competences, cultural differences are seen as problematic and the creative potential of cultural diversity is lost. However, research on cultural competence has not yet reached a stage as to offer us a clear picture on how to best develop and enhance these competences. This Action aims at creating an authoritative multidisciplinary network of social scientists from across Europe, which will define the nature of Cross-Cultural Competences and analyse its consequences and benefits for individuals, organisations and societies alike. Building on extant and emerging scientific research, the Action will create a platform for implementing training and education programs in schools, universities and workplaces to help turn Europe’s cultural diversity into its best social asset.
