As every year, the aim of the Accreditation is to strengthen the quality and recognition of youth work at both the local and international level. Each year’s accreditation is divided into two sub-objectives, which are also described in the original accreditation application: Competence and capacity of youth workers; Development of a high-quality and research-based youth policy. With the accreditation, we aim to ensure that high-quality and research-based youth work is strengthened both locally and internationally. This year, the accreditation focused on the most relevant forms of youth work today – digital youth work and youth mentoring for social integration.
