The training venue is situated in the hills, offering a picturesque setting surrounded by mountains and transformed by the changing colours of the seasons. This scenery allows you to admire the entire city of Trento and reach it on foot in just over 5 minutes.
Villa S.

Digital credentials and certification
This youth workers exchange is a unique opportunity for participants to use up-to-date and digital recognition solutions, such as digital Open Badges. Every participant will get a Youthpass certificate and a portfolio of Open badges linked to specific learning experiences.
Watch some videos to understand what Open Badges are and how they can be beneficial:
This training activity is an offer by the Cities of Learning Network to get ready for using digital Open Badges for recognition.
