The Quality Label for Youth Centres Programme was developed to promote the European Youth Centres of the Council of Europe as standard-setting instruments and examples of good practice for youth policy. It aims at knowledge sharing and networking among youth centres across Europe, and consists of three main elements:
- a Council of Europe Quality Label for Youth Centres, to be awarded to youth centres that meet a set of quality criteria;
- an annual meeting of a European Platform of Youth Centres to ensure networking among centres recognised with the label and those aspiring to its acquisition;
- an annual training course for educational staff of youth centres.
Since the European Steering Committee for Youth (CDEJ) launched the Quality Label for Youth Centres Programme in 2010, the network of youth centres has grown significantly. The Youth Department of the Council of Europe is thus looking for trainers, experts and rapporteurs to support the implementation of the Programme and the network of (labelled) youth centres.
