Short description:
The Engagement Portfolio is a tool that aims to provide assistance to youth organisations and youth movements through the development of an official document attesting to a young person’s engagement/commitment and competences acquired through non-formal education [activities and projects]. It encompasses two main elements: the ‘Portfolio’ – a personal folder that allows the young person to keep track of the volunteer work experiences they have done, and the ‘Attestation’ – an official recognition mechanism of the competences acquired during a young person’s engagement as a volunteer. The Portfolio has been designed based on the experience from the project ‘certification of skills acquired in the framework of non-formal education’ conducted between 2006 and 2007.
