Bridges for Recognition | Different Stakeholders - Different Needs
65
• Should we produce a competencies questionnaire/wish list?
• A set of competencies should come from the youth work field - or is there a need for an extra
something or someone to provide it for us?
• Is there any common accepted understanding of a Portfolio?
• What do we as trainers not want to happen?
• Who do we need to engage in these discussions?
• The group also discussed the real need to clarify the terms that we are using/working with?
• The group discussed the idea that the process of recognition of trainers should be
institutionalised and that the Institutions should be involved in some way.
• Recognition should be given also for the practitioners in the field and that Trainers should be
a in a permanent qualification process.
• The group called for action to be taken so that in one year’s time we should have in place
a Youth Trainers Portfolio and an analysis of “The profile and quality of the Non-formal
education trainer”
• The group proposed that a 360 degree consultation should be organised to ask institutions,
youth workers, and other potential clients what they expect from trainers.
