Youthpass, 8 key competences & final evaluation

The Youthpass working session was dedicated to the 8 key competencies.

Thanks to the first day session on Youthpass, young people have learned that they will receive a certificate that will validate the key competencies acquired / developed in this youth exchange. 

At the same time, the facilitators have insisted on these competencies through another session from the last day of activities, during which the participants were please write on paper sheets what they consider to be the 8 competencies and in which activities of the project they had the opportunity to develop or use them. 

Finally, some volunteers participants read the 8 sheets corresponding to the 8 key competencies, in plenary and a discussion and a recapitulation of the entire mobility took place.

Also, our participants were informed how they can fill in the Youthpass Certificate online, which they will receive as a result of participating in this youth exchange.

On the other hand, a final activity, the "secret friends" were revealed through a game that brought a lot of laughter and emotions.

The friendships were so well defined that, even at the end of the project, the participants continued to communicate on the joint What’sAPP group, sending each other pictures and messages.

Moreover, during the final evaluation, on the 9th day of the activity, a series of non-formal activities were carried out, such as: the symbolic use of the image of a backpack and a trash can to give each participant the opportunity to reflect and express himself/ herself on the aspects he/ she would take with him/ her or the aspects he would give up. 

Thus, in turn, the participants came in front of the group and symbolically threw in the trash the things they left behind (fear of public speaking, fear of taking the initiative), things they disliked, etc. and just as symbolically, they put in their backpacks the elements they brought with them home, to carry them on in their further experiences (new friends, new information about entrepreneurship, about other cultures, etc.).

For a general feedback, the "pizza" method was used, on which the participants scored their satisfaction with: facilitators, working spaces, food, location, acommodation, workshops, their own participation, cultural evenings.
