Summary link to Recognition:
The European Training Strategy (ETS) provides a strong affirmation from the European Commission of its commitment to European youth work. The ETS was first launched in 2000 and has undergone many changes, developments and improvements over the years. The implementation of the ETS has been a major step forward in the assurance of the quality and quantity of training as well as the quality of youth work in general. As a strategy it encourages decision makers, experts and practitioners to cooperate on a broader scale to improve the quality of youth work and its recognition. It provides a series of measures, common guidelines and a set of quality criteria for capacity building in the field of youth that can be established on the national as well as the European level.
