Youthpass is part of the European Commission’s strategy to foster the recognition of non-formal learning. As a tool to visualize and to validate learning outcomes gained in “Youth in Action” projects, it puts policy into practice and practice into policy: but…

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. 40 people from 9 countries will work together on concrete experiences in implementing Youthpass, quality improvement in projects through Youthpass, learning to Learn and Self Directed Learning, comprehension and concrete translation of the 8 key-competences into practice, recognition of Non Formal Learning, bridges between EU policy, educational background and practice and strategic development.
