A portfolio is an organised collection of materials that presents and verifies skills and knowledge acquired through experience. It is of particular relevance to validating non‑formal and informal learning because it allows the individual candidate to contribute actively to the collection of evidence and also offers a mix of approaches strengthening the overall validity of the process. This is confirmed by the fact that many           countries have introduced the portfolio  as a central element in their validation approaches (CEDEFOP, 2009)

The iriv together with Animafac adapted the Vaeb portfolio to the special profile of students and to open the ction plan to a University cursus or any professional experienc.  The main goal is to identify and value together with the students the competences acquired thanks to a volunteering in training them to describe their experience and to express it in terms of competences to enrich their resume, a letter of motivation or a professional interview.
