Short description:
The Quality Label for Youth Workers is a joint initiative between youth workers and governmental institutions aiming at strengthening the focus on the quality of youth work in Macedonia, as well as gaining political and formal recognition of youth work. The practice implies adopting the Law on Youth Work, setting up minimum quality standards for youth work and developing a system of accreditation on the quality of youth work providers. This would be expressed in granted Quality Labels for the organisations who comply with the standards set. The approach proposed also envisions the development of a National Youth Worker Portfolio for individual youth workers. It should be fully operational in 2015.
