PP - Non-Formal Education
A framework for indicating and assuring quality
Non-Formal Education (NFE), and the increase in its recognition, is a top priority for the European Youth Forum (YFJ). That the recognition has not been sufficiently achieved is in part due to a lack of confidence in the quality of NFE within society and within youth organisations themselves. The YFJ believes that youth organisations can further the recognition of NFE by clearly ensuring the quality of NFE through the setting up of a framework to assure and communicate this quality.
With this Policy Paper, the YFJ proposes a Quality Assurance Framework based on a solid understanding of quality and coming from the specific reality of NFE as provided by youth organisations.
The Policy Paper provides a comprehensive set of concepts based on the cornerstone definition: The quality of NFE in youth NGOs is the degree to which selected needs of society and of learners are reached and addressed.
