∎ This system has been developed with organisation, usually implementing group EVS project with approx. 10 volunteers and 7-8 mentors. Therefore badges for the systematic work are a lot based on mentors’ training and colleague support.
∎ Badges for self-development can be used in projects with any number of volunteers. There are no levels, mentors can earn any badge whenever one is matching the criteria. Meta-badges are unlocked when all badges of that competence are earned.

CONTENT OF BADGES★
∎ Badges have quite generic descriptions, making the system easily adaptable to any EVS project.
∎ However, you might wish to add specific details about your EVS project, dates, places, etc.
∎ “Systematic work” badges are based on a practice where Mentors have introductory training, mid-term training and final evaluation. They also have periodic meetings with EVS project coordinator as well as meetings just among mentors. Check if badge criteria are matching with your organisation practices. Trusted Badge
