Quality is a significant factor when considering how to tackle, reflect and apply non-formal education principles in youth learning mobility schemes and projects. Quality needs to be an integral part of the design, implementation, execution and monitoring and evaluation of a given learning mobility experience. In April 2019, EPLM launcheed two major Quality Tools for supporting quality in learning mobility: a Q-App and a Handbook on Quality in Learning Mobility.

Moreover, a group of Quality Ambassadors and Multipliers has been created, and two training courses took place in 2019 and in 2020, introducing them to the Quality Tools. This community of practitioners from all around Europe is being proactive in promoting the Quality framework in the youth field in their countries.The Quality Ambassadors are supported in this voluntary engagement through activities and tools provided by a collaboration of a number of National Agencies within the Erasmus + and European Solidarity Corps Programme.

In order to promote the quality tools and celebrate the restart of youth learning mobility after the pandemic, Pop The Bubble campaign was launched in June 2022.
