"80% of the European public feels that volunteering is an important aspect of society. Over 100 million people in the EU engage in regular volunteering and generate 5% of Europe’s GDP.
Young and old in the EU engage in volunteering in the following sectors: education, sport, culture, the environment, youth, sustainable development, health, immigration, human rights, corporate social responsibility and the EU’s relations with other countries. It is particularly gratifying to me that my recommendations for implementing a qualifications framework for volunteer sports coaches were accepted. The time and resources being put into the training of trainers must be acknowledged, and the skills in question must be transferable.
To that end, I welcome the proposal for a European Skills Passport for volunteers. This passport will increase mobility in the voluntary sector and create an important and valuable link between informal learning and formal education. Students will now be better off on account of informal learning and skills being recognised under the European Credit Transfer System. That will increase the ability of students to find employment."@en1
