Bridges for Recognition | Bridges for Recognition in a Nutshell - Executive Summary 5<br />
Suggestions for Action<br />
The elements above were the ingredients of a number of concrete proposals for action:<br />
Prepare an extensive report of Bridges for Recognition, with several targeted executive<br />
summaries, to be spread to different audiences and stakeholder groups. This Bridges report is<br />
made available at www.SALTO-YOUTH.net/BridgesForRecognition/ and other relevant for a.<br />
Pierre Mairesse indicated that a possible step forward in the recognition of youth work might<br />
be a resolution on recognition at the May 2006 Council of Ministers during the Austrian<br />
Presidency. Efforts should be undertaken to make this resolution a reality.<br />
The need for a common language could be addressed by actively using, fine tuning and<br />
contributing to the Cedefop “Terminology of Vocational Training Policy – A multilingual<br />
glossary for an enlarged Europe” (Tissot, 2004) from the youth work perspective:<br />
www.cedefop.eu.int<br />
Use the Cheat Sheet of Terminology developed for Bridges for Recognition (p. 41) and<br />
continue the discussion on the relevance of different terms and concepts used in youth work<br />
and training, and making them compatible with and understandable by other sectors. For<br />
example via the Youth Knowledge platform developed by the Youth Research Partnership<br />
between the European Commission and the Council of Europe - www.youth-knowledge.net<br />
Develop a classification of different recognition systems, tools and procedures. The existing<br />
good practice in the field of recognition of youth work and non-formal learning (documented<br />
in this Bridges report – see Good Practice Workshops p. 50) can then be classified and better<br />
understood in this light.<br />
Continue the dialogue between different stakeholders (youth, employment, education,<br />
civil society) with regard to the recognition of youth work and of the skills young people<br />
gain in youth work. The ‘Pact for Youth’ could be a chance to make recognition of non-formal<br />
education more widespread. Contacts and negotiations to integrate youth work related<br />
experience and competences in the EuroPass framework should be continued –<br />

The SALTO-YOUTH Training and Cooperation Resource Centre launched a European wide<br />
recognition system – Youth Pass - at Bridges for Recognition, and will further develop this<br />
recognition tool for the hundreds of thousands of young people that take part in the European<br />
YOUTH programme, in dialogue with a variety of relevant partners. SALTO Training and<br />
Cooperation will implement training courses on the use of Youth Pass and start a SALTO<br />
newsletter on recognition of youth work in Europe, in cooperation with relevant partners<br />
