The activities that the project will organise are functional: 1) to develop and test at transnational level an innovative European competence standard and a common curriculum and learning pathway in youth work field, particularly for coaching of youth initiatives, targeted on professionals, people on labour market or training /studying for youth work; 2) to ensure, applying European (and the national too) principles and tools for transparency of learning outcomes and qualifications EQF, ECVET and Europass, recognition and certification of acquired skills and competences across involved EU countries. At these aims, the project will organise following preparatory and implementation activities: - Preparatory research for analysing both: the youth work professional field in each involved country, identifying existing figures, profiles, diplomas and qualifications, classifying them within EQF levels, and defining a shared professional perimeter to activate an ECVET process for the new European common competence standard “Coach in Youth Initiatives”; the results of studies on competences needed for coaching in youth initiatives, included good practices already implemented for the development of them (intellectual output “Report on analysis about European youth work professional field, competences needed for coaching in youth initiatives, and related best practices”); - Preparatory research on good practices already implemented for transparency and recognition of learning outcomes and qualifications, designing common competence standards utilising EQF approach, and applying ECVET (included MoU ECVET, Learning Agreements ECVET and ECVET Credits Awarding models with Europass Certificate Supplement), and transfer and adaptation of them to define an action plan for activating ECVET within shared European common professional perimeter (intellectual output “Action plan for the ECVET process to be activated in the coaching of youth initiatives professional field”);

- Definition of the design of the new European common competence standard (professional standard) “Coach in Youth Initiatives”, utilising the knowledge/skills/competences approach based on learning outcomes established by EQF, also taking into account specificities of concerned territorial youth work contexts and learning systems (intellectual output “Design of the new European common competence standard “Coach in Youth Initiatives”); - Definition and signature of the MoU ECVET formalising the new common competence standard “Coach in Youth Initiatives” (intellectual output “Memorandum of Understanding ECVET for the new European common competence standard “Coach in Youth Initiatives”); - Definition of the design of the common European curriculum (training standard) corresponding to the common competence standard established by MoU ECVET (intellectual output “European common curriculum for the competence standard Coach in Youth Initiatives”); - Definition of the design and organisation of transnational joint learning programme (through joint training events and mobility) coherent with concerned territorial youth work contexts and learning systems, to be tested within the project for allowing to interested persons across participating countries, the recognition of learning outcomes accordingly to competence standard established by MoU ECVET (intellectual output “Design of the joint training events and mobility to get the learning outcomes concerned by the MoU ECVET for Coach in Youth Initiatives”);

- Definition of common models for Learning Agreements ECVET, and for ECVET Credits Awarding with Europass Certificate Supplement, to be applied within joint training events and mobility (intellectual outputs “Common European Model for Learning Agreements ECVET”, and “Common European Model for ECVET Credits Awarding”); - Endorsement of the new European common competence standard established by MoU ECVET and of related training standard within concerned territorial youth work contexts and learning systems of involved countries (intellectual output “Report on the endorsement at national level of the new European common competence and training standards for Coaches in Youth Initiatives”). Beyond these preparatory and implementation activities, the project includes training activities (delivering of joint training events and mobility across involved country: training activities will be attended by at least 10 professionals, people on labour market or training/studying for youth work, in Italy, France and Hungary), management activities (management and coordination of project partnership and activities, included partnership agreement definition, set-up and maintenance of website, budget control and time management, and transnational project meetings; project quality planning and management), dissemination of targeted written material and policy recommendations, and multiplier events (Info-days/Focus Groups on project results in each involved country, also at European level).
