First Youth Research Dialogue in 2024
Empowering Tomorrow: Impact of the European youth programmes
We are back with our Youth Research Dialogues and continue straight away with our RAY Monitoring editions.
As a reminder, these special editions focus on our newest findings of the RAY Monitoring surveys with beneficaries of the European youth programmes. We started this series with our last two Youth Research Dialogues in October and November 2023 and discussed first insights as well as Erasmus+ Youth programme journeys. You can rewatch the dialogues HERE and HERE.
Our next Youth Research Dialogue will focus on the impact of the Erasmus+ Youth and the European Solidarity Corps programmes. We will discuss effects on young people, participants, communities and organisations. Which competences are acquired and strengthened through the participation in the European youth programmes? What impact does the projects have on community and society level? These questions and more will be addressed in our dialogue including evidence-based good practice examples.

Context
The RAY Monitoring surveys are conducted with beneficiaries and participants of Erasmus+ Youth and European Solidarity Corps. For the first time since the start of the pandemic the RAY Network is surveying project participants and project team members of the the European youth programmes. The current surveys have been launched in June 2023 and remained open until October 2023. The multilingual online surveys aiming at analysing the impact of the European Youth Programmes and their effects on individual, organisational, community and European levels. Project participants and project team members who were part or implemented an Erasmus+ Youth or European Solidarity Corps project within the current programme period are invited to reflect on the effects of the projects and activities (e.g. on participation and citizenship, digitalisation, sustainability, diversity and inclusion) and their own learning pathway and competence development. Furthermore, the effects on learning organisations and communities, the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities, the recognition of youth work, the European dimension as well as the implementation of the programmes are thematised.
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.
