Description of the ETS competence area Designing Programmes: “Designing programmes involves a good understanding of the different groups and environments that a youth worker deals with. This precondition is essential to being able to develop and design programmes – be it with an explicit educational purpose or not. The youth worker applies non-formal learning values and principles in the programmes and responds to the needs and realities of young people, which are more complex in an international context. This competence area includes how designing programmes can address political, societal, technological and cultural issues in youth work and how it can be opened up to include the wider community.”
