As a tool to document and recognise learning
outcomes, it puts policy into practice and
practice into policy: While creating their
Youthpass Certificate together with a support
person, the participants of the projects have
the possibility to describe what they have
done in their project and which competences
they have acquired. Thus, Youthpass supports
the reflection upon the personal non-formal
learning process and outcomes.
Being a Europe-wide validation instrument
for non-formal learning in the youth field,
Youthpass contributes to strengthening the
social recognition of youth work. Describing
the added value of the project, Youthpass
supports active European citizenship of
young people and of youth workers.
Youthpass also aims at supporting the
employability of young people and of youth
workers by documenting the acquisition of
key competences on a certificate.
It’s base is settled in 8 key competences
