  1. Quality in Youth Programme PROGRAMME DEVELOPERS SUMMIT Houens Odde, Denmark 27-30.04.2006

  2. Objectives • agree on a quality tool to assess a YP (content), to be suggested to NSOs in the ESR • identify criteria/standards/indicators to fill the content of the tool • get to know other tools already in use in some NSOs
