What was discussed? What was the result of the discussion? Discussion on the

(ii) preparation of learning settings,
(iii) tools of informal learning,
(iv) who is learning supporter?
(v) educational need analysis,
(vi) evaluation of informal learning activities of KSAD,
(vii) dissemination plan

As a result of discussion, participants of valorisation meeting said that (i) informal learning designed based on ENA is the best way for motivating the learners, (ii) they have some experiences that can be named as informal learning (giving examples such as some activities in mother house), (iii) learning settings should be designed according to the target group (e.i. how to learn finding directions if someone who has no hand watch or who has digital hand watch) (iv) for the sustainability of informal learning to carry out projects together with, (v) „kolaylaştırıcı“ instead of „öğretici“ can be used for the Turkish translation of the learning supporter.

Project group members said that they have had lots of experiences during implementation of the project, and one of the most important outcome was being learning supporter, or at least feeling on the way of being learning supporter.

As a result of this meeting we recommend the project group to discuss or to do the following:
1. Continue informal learning activities
2. Dissemination in our working places
3. To be informed on project products
4. Periodic meetings on informal learning
5. To give more information on informal learning to local organisations
