Youthpass is a tool to help to recognize the value and learning gained by participating in the Youth In Action Programme. In each Youth In Action project, participants and young people commit to valuable and significant projects, engaging in activities where they gain a range of skills and knowledge;
• language
• communication
• project management
• intercultural learning
• interpersonal skills.
The European Commission has developed Youthpass as part of its strategy to value the recognition of non-formal learning. Youthpass is both a process and a product – as a process it aims to support the learning of young people and participants in Youth in Action projects through measured and reflective learning. Simply put, this means supporting participants in tracking and describing what they have done in their project and helping them to map this learning to a set of competences.
As a product Youthpass is a certificate issued to individual participants of Youth In Action projects. It is filled in by participants so the information contained in it is directly linked to their experience. Youthpass can and should be built into the normal work of running a project. As in any project, establishing clearand achievable learning objectives at the start of the process is essential. Many projects keep group video diaries, individual young people keep diaries, groups build reflection sessions, using varied and creative methods to express feelings and realisations during projects. For the Youthpass process the trick is to develop ways in the project to identify and collect these moments with the participants.
Creating a Youthpass Certificate online should be done by participants with a support person/ youth worker. This is a supported process to describe what they have done in their project and the competences they have acquired.
How do I generate Youthpass certificates
online?
Generating the certificates is the last stage in Youthpass process. You should collect all of the information you need on the project and participants before you start this and check it is accurate as it will appear on the certificate.
