They stated that Youthpass widens young people’s and project organisers' understanding and competence of learning and broadens the view of what they learned during the project.

Evaluierung der Aktivität
Quantitative Fragebogenerhebungen (online/telefonisch), Qualitative Interviewbefragungen (persönlich), Fokusgruppen
The study used both quantitative and qualitative methods. It is based on online surveys targeted towards organisations which had implemented Youthpass in Youth in Action projects between 2007 and 2011 and participants in these projects. The surveys mainly included multiple choice questions with the possibility to add alternatives in case the answer was not provided within the choice. It also included an open question about respondents' awareness of examples of good practice concerning the use of Youthpass. In addition to the online questionnaires, seven focus groups with youth workers and project leaders were organised by Youth in Action National Agencies, involving between four and nine participants each. Two National Agencies carried out focus groups with five Youth in Action project participants each and three expert consultations were held involving the European YouthForum, Youthpass contact persons and the Youthpass Advisory Group. The expert consultations involved between six and eight participants each. In total, this impact study is based on the feedback of nearly 2,000 respondents.
