The passport supports the reflection process of #WeWill projects. Passports have been developed as a medium for pupils to record their journey through the social action process. The passport allows pupils to record what they have learnt, learn more skills, and solve riddles through the use of their problem-solving skills. If partners wish to assess, they can do it according to their assessment policies, but a minimum of 3 times is a strong recommendation. Teachers are not expected to determine the outcome of the young people's social action project. The passport is part of the success criteria for the completion of the Youth Social Action Project.
