CAO DANADO - Portugal
Since its foundation, Cão Danado, has promoted support for emerging young actors and artists, creating conditions for them to develop their work in a sustainable way, and with all the support of a production, technical and artistic team. This initial support for artists came about because we know, from experience, that it is at this stage that many artists give up and develop clinical depression, and it is not uncommon for young people in artistic field, to choose suicide, addition to alcohol or to drugs. Another action that we have developed since 2010 is the sending of young people (especially artists who are identified with depression) to Erasmus + activities where they can get to know other realities and opportunities and get out of the box. We chose this strategy because we know that the environment where we live and the routine, sometimes, does not allow us to envisage other solutions to problems and that when we leave this environment we can look at it from a new point of view. will the training help and support this work and make it more effective. Two years ago, we extended this support to young circus artists.

BREAKTHROUGH - The Netherlands
For several years Breakthrough Foundation has, together with partner organisations, promoted recognition and acknowledgement of learning in the youth work field. This has included: The development and testing of Open Badges (Microcredentials) and the online “Cities of Learning” Platform.

MARLIJN ACADEMIE - The Netherlands
Yes it is really possible; Obtain a piece of recognized MBO diploma, without learning in a chair, and/or in a classroom.
Marlijn Academie is a formally recognized vocational education institution with 180 courses specialized in practical learning for people who work better with their hands than learning on paper. And we would like to make this possible for Caucasian, both in Curacao and in the Netherlands.
The vision of Marlijn Academie to connect the worlds of formal and informal learning. How to issue a 'formal' and government-recognized MBO statement and statement of practice to young people, but also non-native speakers and/or people who learn best in practice. How do we do this ? By training the environment instead of the young people and/or employees. We learn to guide colleagues and/or job coaches as practical trainers, 100% in the working environment. While the youngster discovers where his talents lie. Within tourism, one can e.g. spend a week in the kitchen, then in the restaurant, then in the cleaning and afterwards we determine together with the person what he/she likes best and therefore wants to continue learning on the job after 3 months, the practical trainer-plus writes a summary opinion, on the basis of which the (new) employee receives the MBO and practical statement. Look at www.mbo-praktijkverklaring.nl / www.marlijnacademie.nl and www.3antonius.nl

Under the guidance of a buddy (coach, therapist or someone within this area), our volunteers receive work within various working groups, for example by writing columns; creating activities/workshops; organizing open conversations on social media about various topics.
Together we go for 365 days of mental health awareness.

Open Badges and the Cities of Learning Platform
Open Badge is a digital standard to recognise various achievements, like participation, membership, personal qualities and exceptional skills, or the completion of a learning journey. Each badge is a micro-credential certificate and data about badge issuer and earner, a description of the badge and criteria for earning it. And perhaps links to evidence how the badge has been earned, information about competence framework or endorsers. Third parties, like employers or employment agencies are looking at validity, reliability and flexibility of what a person has learned, worked on, or achieved  is via checking how assessment has been done, who was the issuer of a badge, how much hours has been worked on a specific skill, or if there is another party who endorsed what has been learned.
