Self-validated programmes National Scout Organisations certification of qualification and validation; recognition; renewal; badges

State-accredited programmes: YMCA Germany and training for the youth leaders’ card

Issue/priority based trainings: Working with migrant youth: ECYC training on intercultural learning and working with migrant youth; IFM-SEI “How Youth Organisations can support young refugees and migrants”. Digital and web: NYCI web resource and training on Web Safety in Youth Work

Learning by doing Importance of tools: open badges; CoE Youth Work portfolio;

Other important questions Transition from participant to volunteer; Flexibility in training provision (less hours, more weekends?); Importance of international cooperation and training opportunities - including CoE Youth Centres and Erasmus+
