Most volunteers will have experience with learning in formal education, like school and university, but it might be the first time that they find themselves in a situation where they will be responsible for their own learning and development.
Volunteers will be supported to start a process of self-directed learning. The mentor and the training cycle will support the volunteer in planning their learning, in discovering what they want to learn and how, but ultimately the volunteers are responsible for deciding what they learn and how far they want to go in this process.
To issue high-quality Youthpass Certificates with individual learning outcomes, the European Commission recommends paying attention to the learning process throughout the various phases of the Youth in Action projects.
