Course Background and Objectives
The European Solidarity Corps is an incredible opportunity for young people to demonstrate solidarity and contribute to their communities. It is also an empowering experience that helps them develop new competences.
Youthpass can help them become more aware of their learning and document the learning outcomes they acquire during their project. In order to make the most of this opportunity, young people might benefit from some support from their mentors, coaches, project organisers.
And as a mentor, coach, project organiser, you might need some guidance on how to make use of Youthpass, too!
At the end of this course, you, as a support person, will understand how the learning journey of a participant in a European Solidarity Corps project unfolds and how the Youthpass can be implemented along the way. You will develop the competences needed for supporting the participants, through self-assessment and reflection.
The course aims to empower and equip youth workers – and other support persons – with the information and competences they need to implement the Youthpass process.
Specifically, it aims to
- reflect on the learning value of the European Solidarity Corps projects;
- introduce the Youthpass process and how it fits in with the various actions of the European Solidarity Corps programme;
- discuss how to support reflection on learning in European Solidarity Corps projects;
- reflect on the competences needed for supporting learning through self-assessment and reflection;
- offer support for expressing one’s learning outcomes from such projects in words.

The target groups of this training course are project organisers and support persons within the European Solidarity Corps programme including mentors, coaches, tutors, youth workers as well as young people carrying out a Solidarity Project.
