The Quality Label for Youth Centres is pleased to announce that the quality criteria brochure has now been revised and the new text was adopted by the CDEJ.
The latest version of the brochure addresses the aims, components and added value of the Quality Label, in addition to presenting the criteria that aspiring youth centres must meet to acquire the label.
In particular, the general pre-conditions, or eligibility criteria, have been reviewed.
The new centres that wish to be awarded with the Quality Label and those that wish their label renewed must:
- have, as its primary mission, the aim to service the youth sector and young people;
- have in-house educational staff competent in non-formal education;
- have accommodation facilities within one campus with the working facilities;
- cooperate with public authorities;
- promote international co-operation within the youth sector;
- promote the Council of Europe’s values and approaches.
The brochure also refers to the additional criteria that youth centres must meet, which can be adapted to reflect local realities and national contexts.
