6 Bridges for Recognition | Bridges for Recognition in a Nutshell - Executive Summary<br />
The Council of Europe has been developing a Youth Worker Portfolio, which was presented<br />
at Bridges for Recognition. This Portfolio can be tested and implemented by European training<br />
partners e.g. SALTO. www.coe.int/youth<br />
Bridges for Recognition gave impetus to do a study on a ‘youth-work trainer profile’ which<br />
could be carried out within the Partnership Agreement between the Council of Europe and<br />
the European Commission on European Youth Worker Training - www.training-youth.net.<br />
However, contacts and cooperation with other relevant bodies could also be sought.<br />
The European Youth Forum’s input at Bridges for Recognition was the beginning of a new<br />
Youth Forum policy line on recognition which will be further developed for a period of 2<br />
years. Discussions on recognition will be taken up with the Youth Forum’s pool of trainers<br />
- www.youthforum.org<br />
Develop a strategy for social recognition of youth work. This could be related to a European<br />
strategy to increase the visibility of youth work and potentially develop a Training-Kit on<br />
PR and visibility of youth work within the Partnership on European Youth Worker Training<br />
between the Council of Europe and the European Commission.<br />
Maintain transparency and provide information on the different initiatives that are being<br />
undertaken on different levels in the field of recognition of youth work, using the different<br />
channels available:<br />
- SALTO newsletter on recognition – www.SALTO-YOUTH.net/newsletter/<br />
- European Youth Portal – www.europa.eu.int/youth/<br />
- Youth Knowledge Centre – www.youth-knowledge.net<br />
- YOUTH Programme’s extranet for National Agencies and Coordinators – YouthNet<br />
(based on the Bridges for Recognition Steering Group evaluation meeting)<br />
We hope that you find this report useful and inspiring and we encourage readers to visit the<br />
websites and make contact with the conference contributors to continue building bridges for<br />
recognition…<br />
