Recognition and validation!
This is an introduction…
There is more on youthpass.eu!
Youthpass is a newly developed European instrument of validation and recognition of non-formal learning within the Youth in Action Programme.
Participants of specific training activities, including this training course, have the right to receive a Youthpass Certificate.
This certificate records your learning achievements and consists of two parts:
- a descriptive one, presenting the objectives and main activities of the European training course you attend,
- a self-assessment one, completed by you yourself, usually with the benefit of feedback from other participants.
You can freely decide if you like to receive an individualised Youthpass, including a self-assessment part. Participation in the self-assessment process is based on your voluntary commitment.
Nevertheless, we would like to encourage you to try it! What is there to loose? What you can gain is a new experience in planning and assessing your competence development during the course.
Competence is defined here as a combination of attitudes, knowledge and skills transferable and applicable in many situations and contexts. ‘Key competences’ are meant to support personal fulfilment, social inclusion, active citizenship and employment throughout our lives in the 21st century.
The European Reference Framework sets out eight key competence areas: Communication in the mother tongue; Communication in a foreign language; Mathematical literacy and basic competence in science and technology; Digital competence; Learning to learn; Interpersonal, intercultural, social and civic competences; Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship; Cultural awareness and expression.
Support for your personal and professional development will be provided in a differentiated way by the trainers as well as your fellow participants and peer support groups as needed.
Therefore we would like to kindly ask you to indicate in the pre-course questionnaire which competencies you intend to develop during this training. It will also help you to evaluate the training in comparison to your needs.
Enjoy planning and assessing your learning!
