Project Summary

The aim of the project was to improve the quality of youth work during the implementation of the EVS (now ESC) European Voluntary Service projects. The objective was to create tools supporting the implementation and implementation of EVS/ESC projects (mobile application and its paper equivalent) and training module, a model of training how to implement these tools in work with a volunteer. The project was addressed mainly to entities involved in the implementation of EVS/ESC projects (org. Sending, hosting, coordinating and mentoring). Thanks to the created tools, the applicant intended to improve the quality of the implemented EVS projects in such a way as to facilitate the reflection process on the learning outcomes and to facilitate filling in Youthpass, developed standards of monitoring and quality of the competences acquired by the volunteer and their evaluation (both on the part of the volunteer and other entities involved). The aim of the project was also to promote ICT tools in youth work. The most important RPI resulting from the project activities was the mobile application I-develop, addressed to volunteers and organizations involved in the implementation of EVS projects, which can improve the work in the implementation of EVS, and thus will contribute to the improvement of the quality of these implementations. Another RPI is Learning Grants – volunteer organizer. Learning Diary has similar assumptions and goals as the I-develop mobile application, its purpose is also very similar. The need to produce a paper version of the application arises for several reasons: 1. work on volunteer positions without access to modern technologies and the Internet (Nepal, India, Vietnam, poorer areas of Eastern Europe) 2. Projects for EVS volunteers with fewer opportunities, especially on the economic level – not having a smartphone and/or laptop. In addition, a training module of a workshop nature will be created, using non-formal education methods (its scope includes training on the implementation and use of Learning Diary and mobile application I-develop- main RPI, generated in this project. The module is especially useful for multipliers and is used for dissemination, promotion and assistance in the implementation of the proposed tools. The module fully allows you to get acquainted with the assumptions and possibilities of the generated tools. The project covers the following topics: – Evaluation in EVS projects – its meaning and importance, evaluation tools and methods, evaluation types, evaluation of competences resulting from mobility, project, work, self assesement, Youthpass, – Key competences, – Types of competences, competence assessment, – Role of the organisation: sending, hosting and coordinating in the volunteer learning process – Analysis and collection of data resulting from evaluation, valuable data processing, – Methods of obtaining information, feedback (also based on non-formal education), use of games (e.g., e.g., games), – Methods of obtaining information, feedback (also based on non-formal education), use of games (e.g., Dixit) Creative Reports – in the context of evaluation – Reflection on learning process – improvement – Youthpass.
