What is an Mid-Term Meeting?
The MidTerm Evaluation Meeting allows volunteers to assess their experience so far and to reflect on the activities, role and support of the Hosting Organisation and on their own contribution. The MidTerm Evaluation is essential for risk prevention and crisis management and it thus facilitates conflict resolution - if necessary! In addition, volunteers share experiences and increase their motivation.
The evaluation provides the opportunity to learn from everybody’s ‘ESC story’ and enables the volunteers to plan developments and/or further improvements in their service and to think about what they will do in the longer term, once their period of service is over. The evaluation should also raise awareness of the personal learning process, linking it to the key competences of the Youthpass.
Training and evaluation cycle (TEC)
The MidTerm Evaluation Meeting is just one of the meetings dedicated to ESC volunteers.
One of the key features of ESC is the training and evaluation it provides, guiding young volunteers through a non-formal learning process before, during and after their period of service abroad. The training and evaluation dimension within ESC aims at providing young volunteers with continuous guidance and support throughout their voluntary service period. Such training and evaluation contributes to the education and development of each young person. It also helps resolve conflicts and prevent risks and it provides a means of assessing the volunteer's ESC experience.
ESC volunteers have the right and obligation to attend the session while the participating organizations must ensure that their volunteers take part in the Training and Evaluation Cycle (TEC), which is considered an integral part of the voluntary service.
