Join us for the last Youth Research Dialogue in 2024
Enhancing Youth Participation: The Role of European Projects and Social Services
Our Youth Research Dialogues continue on 8 November with our fifth and last episode in 2024.
The topic: ‘Enhancing Youth Participation: The Role of European Projects and Social Services’, will be discussed from different perspectives – the European youth programmes as well as social services and community-based services in different countries. We will focus on structural dimensions enhancing or restricting youth participation and individual participation and competences.
Findings from our RAY research project on the long-term effects of Erasmus+ Youth on participation and citizenship (extension) will be presented and discussed by our RAY researcher. Additionally, our guest speaker will introduce findings on the the impact of social services. We will explore insights on experiences of official participation processes as well as spaces young people are building up by themselves.
The following aspects, among others, will be addressed: What long-term effects and impact does the Erasmus+ Youth programme have on participation and citizenship competences?, Young people and their individual participation endeavors and competences, How to develop youth participation in social services in a meaningful way?, Participation of young people using social services in their design and implementation, What needs to be taken into account for young people with fewer opportunities/ young people at risk? Evolution of community-based disability services.

What are the Youth Research Dialogues?
The overall aim of the ‘Youth Research Dialogues’ series is to not only to make RAY research findings more accessible but also other European youth research studies and create a dialogue between researchers about their findings. The ‘Youth Research Dialogues’ series promotes different topics, e.g. inclusion and diversity, pandemic and youth work, digitalisation etc. In addition to researchers from the RAY Network, the ‘Youth Research Dialogues’ series features research colleagues from different global and European contexts and networks.
What is the RAY research project on the long-term effects of Erasmus+ Youth on participation and citizenship (extension)?
The predecessor study (research project on Long-term Effects of Erasmus+ Youth in Action on Participation and Citizenship, RAY LTE) started in 2015 and was finalised in 2019. It was designed as a longitudinal study with a mixed method approach, using quantitative and qualitative social research methods: standardised multilingual online surveys and guideline-based interviews, which were conducted with participants of Erasmus+ Youth in Action projects at various stages before and after the core activity of the project. In these surveys and interviews, a number of questions on indicators for participation and citizenship competence and practice were asked in order to measure how the responses vary. The LTE EXT project continued in 2023, seven to eight years after the project participation, with a fourth interview. The aim of this project is to explore long-term effects of learning on the development of participation and citizenship competence and practice, and to research possible changes of respective learning effects over time.
