The Youthpass trainers group

The Youthpass trainers group offers you tailor-made training activities on the work with Youthpass in "Youth in Action" projects.

What do we stand for?

Having a good overview of recent developments in the recognition of non-formal learning and the Youthpass we are committed to act as:

A training group supporting SALTO and NA's in the implementation of Youthpass.
A Think Tank supporting the future development of strategies for recognition of non-formal learning.

Youthpass is much more than a technical tool or a piece of paper! We strongly believe in its potential in helping young people and others to put the sense into Learning to Learn, Lifelong Learning and recognition of non-formal learning.

Concrete experiences in implementing Youthpass
Quality improvement in projects through Youthpass
