opportunities to engage in positive leisure activities

gesellschaftliche Partizipation

The vast majority of young people envisioned volunteering as a meaningful and constructive venture: 74% confirmed that they were interested in taking part because it would keep them busy. This was confirmed during focus group discussions when many 15-16 year olds admitted that volunteering gave them something “more positive to do” when they were unemployed and struggling to find real opportunities to develop themselves out of school.
