Evaluierung der Aktivität

In 2012, a special study was developed aiming to explore the learning processes of actors involved in YiA projects. For this study, a "special survey" using multilingual online questionnaires was developed and implemented in 2012. Furthermore, qualitative research methods - interviews with project leaders and focus groups with project participants - were being implemented during the first half of 2013. The present report represents an interim transnationa analysis of the special surveys conducted within the framework of the RAY project in May 2012 by National Agencies and their research partners in 13 countries.
