Recognition of international youth work
By participating in international youth exchanges, volunteering schemes or other international activities, young people undergo experiences and acquire skills and competences that are enormously valuable to their personal development. The potential offered by international youth work and its non-formal and informal learning settings is still neither sufficiently acknowledged nor recognised in formal and vocational education, by the private sector and in civil society. Greater visibility and recognition for international youth work as a place of learning is hence an important youth and educational policy objective, one that is also pursued by IJAB.
