Subtitle: Role, Value and Impact of Youth Centres
Author(s): Council of Europe
Date: 2018
Summary link to Recognition:
In 2008 the Council of Europe introduced the Quality Label for youth centres, as of 2018, there were 20 youth centres in the initiative. This publication explores how the Quality Label is an important factor in the ongoing process of the recognition of youth work, both locally and on a European level. The publication shows how the Quality Label concept supports recognition by creating a promotion of the centres and their work to the wider public; that they are safe spaces for young people, they are grounded in education and learning, they promote positive values and principles, and they are centre points for networking both within the youth sector and the wider community.
